granted and the work submitted by the revised deadline no penalty will be
applied. Extensions will only be granted for good reason.
Through the extenuating circumstances procedures, students may request
removal of a penalty imposed for late submission of work. Such a penalty will
only be removed for very good reason.
Requests for extension or removal of a penalty for late submission should be
made on the University's Extenuating Circumstances Form, which should be
submitted to the School Office of the School which 'owns' the student's
programme. The Extenuating Circumstances Form is available on the web at
http://www.reading.ac.uk/internal/exams/student/exa-circumstances.aspx.
While it is stressed that an extension will only be granted (or a penalty for late
submission removed) for good reason, it is also recognised that where a proper
reason exists an extension or request for removal of a penalty will not be refused
unreasonably.
Decisions on extensions and removal of penalties for late submission, as with
decisions on other extenuating circumstances procedures, will be made by the
Senior Tutor of the School which 'owns' the student's programme, or a person
nominated by the Senior Tutor. In the case of requests for extensions in respect
of modules which are 'owned' by another School, the Senior Tutor of the School
'owning' the student's programme remains responsible for the decision, but
should consult the Senior Tutor of the School 'owning' the module prior to a
decision.
Extensions and removal of penalties for late submission should be recorded by
the School responsible for the student's programme, which must inform the
School owning the module in respect of which the extension has been granted.
Any student requiring more than two extensions and/or remissions in one year
should be seen by the Senior Tutor and appropriate advice given or suitable
action taken.
(b) Penalties for late submission
The Module Convener will apply the following penalties for work submitted late:
•
where the piece of work is submitted after the original deadline (or any
formally agreed extension to the deadline): 10% of the total marks available
for that piece of work will be deducted from the mark for each working day
(or part thereof) following the deadline up to a total of five working days;
•
where the piece of work is submitted more than five working days after the
original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of
zero will be recorded.
Details of variants from the standard penalty, special provisions relating to
submission of coursework for exhibitions in the Department of Fine Art and the
Department of Typography and Graphic Communication, and additional guidance
for staff and students are available in the Guide to Policies and Procedures for
Teaching and Learning (section 6l).
