Extensions are not granted automatically to students. Under exceptional circumstances e.g. illness, bereavement or critical personal circumstances) individual students may be granted an extension to the due date of an assignment.

If granted extensions will not exceed 10 working days. No assignments will be accepted once assignments have been returned.

In the event that an assignment has met most but not all of the required outcomes a resubmit may be granted. An assignment which has been resubmitted cannot be awarded a grade higher than the minimum passing grade. Late assignments are not eligible for a resubmit. An assignment can only be resubmitted once. Students may not resubmit tests or examinations.

Timetable for Resubmits:
A maximum of one week or five working days to resubmit the assignment is given from the day the assignment is returned. For FLO students this means the day the assignment is returned to the location from where it was sent.
