Extensions

If circumstances beyond your control mean that you will be unable to submit your assignments on time, you MUST consult with the convenor prior to the assignment deadline. If an extension is granted, the assignment must be submitted by this time. If you submit after a deadline without prior approval, your assignment will NOT be accepted and you will be given a 0 mark for that assignment.
