Extenuating circumstances
If you believe that you have circumstances that justify an extension of the
hand-in deadline for your assignment work, you should use the Extenuating
Circumstances procedure. Extensions (to a maximum of 10 working days) can
be granted when there are serious and exceptional factors outside of your control.
Everyday occurrences such as colds and hay fever do not normally qualify for
extensions. Where possible, requests for extensions should be made before the
submission date.

The University considers extenuating circumstances to be conditions that
significantly impact on your work. Normally these will cover more than one
module. Requests for consideration of extenuating circumstances in respect
of assignment work submission, should be made using the MyUCLan

circumstances are being considered, you should inform relevant module leader,

hand-in date. This may be done in the first fifteen minutes of the lecture. This
will be followed by individual written feedback tying to the Learning Outcomes
listed in the assignment brief, together with any additional helpful feedback
such as areas for improvement and areas for improvement.

Plagiarism
The University uses an electronic plagiarism detection system where your work
could be uploaded, stored and cross-referenced against other material. You
should know that the software searches the WWW, an extensive collection of
reference material and work submitted by members of the same cohort to iden-
tify duplicate

s.

For detailed information on the procedures relating to plagiarism, please see
the current version of the University Academic Regulations4.

Reassessment and Revision
Reassessment in written examinations and coursework is at the discretion of
the Course Assessment Board and is dealt with strictly in accordance with
University policy and procedures. Revision classes for referrals will take place
during ’reassessment revision, appeals and guidance week’ as marked on the
academic calendar.

The mark for the reassessed component is subject to a maximum of 50%.
