to double check .

Mitigating Circumstances

Submission deadlines are fixed for all students except where there are mitigating circumstances. The

extended length of asynchronous exams allows for the possibility of personal technical difficulties

during the examination period. Accordingly, such difficulties will not normally be accepted as

mitigating circumstances for late submission. Make sure you are prepared technically, and you

submit your work well before the deadline. Advice on preparing is available in the student guide for

timed exams (under Appendices 1 and 2)

For more information on preparing for the open book exam see the student guidance on completing

open book examinations.

If you experience network or hardware fault at the point of submission or experience technology

issues that significantly affect your submission:

1. Take video footage preferably, or a screenshot or photograph of any error message.

2. If you are submitting a file do not re-save your documents on your computer after the

submission deadline has passed. Retain the document that you were trying to submit as it

is, without editing it further. Submit your assignment to Turnitin as soon as possible once

the fault is resolved.
