NUI Maynooth Music Department Undergraduate Handbook 2009-2010 6.3. Deadlines & Late Submissions 6.3.1. Assignment deadlines are absolute and it is Department policy that these are set at Noon on the day of the published deadline. 6.3.2. The Department supplies a summary table containing all UG Submission Deadlines within Moodle. This timeline is designed to enable students to plan their time effectively. 6.3.3. Assignment deadlines and weightings are clarified in individual module guides. 6.3.4. Work can be submitted, during Office hours, on any day in advance of the published deadline. 6.3.5. Work submitted after the Noon deadline on the published date is deemed to be late. 6.3.6. All continually assessed work is to be submitted to the Music Department Office during published Office hours on or before the published deadline, where it will be date/time-stamped as appropriate. Students must also sign the relevant Department Register (retained in the Office), as a record that the assignment in question has been submitted. Late assignments (see Penalties under 6.4 below) should also be submitted to the Music Department Office with the relevant documentation. 6.3.7. Students are reminded that technical exercises, tutorial assignments and essays constitute a substantial part of the module assessment. 6.3.8. Work submitted late with clearly documented, date-relevant, mitigating circumstances using the appropriate form will be considered by the Department’s Mitigating Circumstances Committee. 6.4. Penalties & Mitigating Circumstances Policy 6.4.1. Submission of CDs and DVDs (Music Technology): CDs and DVDs should be tested prior to submission to ensure that all necessary data is present, and that the disk functions properly. This can be done by checking the disk on more than one computer. CDs and DVDs which do not work, or which contain projects that cannot be accessed will not be marked, and a mark of zero will be awarded. 6.4.2. Late submissions attract a standard flat-rate deduction of 5% per day from the assigned mark, falling to zero after four-and-a-half working days. Submissions delivered late on the published Noon deadline date automatically lose 5%. A further 5% per day will be deducted for work submitted on the following four working days. Thus, if a piece of work scored 65% but was submitted late (for example at 16:00 on the day of the deadline) a mark of 60% would be recorded. See the following table of automatic penalties: DATE OF LATE SUBMISSION PENALTY Later than Noon on deadline date Minus 5% One working day after deadline date Minus 10% Two working days after deadline date Minus 15% Three working days after deadline date Minus 20% Four working days after deadline date Minus 25% 6.4.3. Work that is submitted after the published Noon deadline and a further four working days will not be awarded any marks unless there are clearly proven and documented mitigating circumstances. 6.4.4. Lecturers/tutors cannot give extensions to students on an individual basis, even where these are sought prior to the assignment deadline. 6.4.5. Mitigating circumstances may include documented short-term illness/ongoing medical problems, access office approved circumstances. 6.4.6. Students who think they have a valid reason (i.e. mitigating circumstances) for missing the deadline must: 25
