This page discusses how penalties for coursework submitted late may be applied in Myplace. This feature is new to Myplace for academic year 2019/20.
What does it do?
It applies the Policy and Procedure for Late Submission of Coursework to work submitted after the deadline on Myplace.
For now it only applies to assignment activities, which are represented by this icon
