Coursework submission overview

Things to take into consideration when setting deadlines and explaining coursework submission requirements to students. 

Proof-reading (taught components)

This policy, intended for the guidance of students and academic staff, relates to the proof-reading of any text to be submitted as part of academic course work, including dissertations.

Cheating, plagiarism, fraudulent or fabricated coursework and malpractice in University examinations and assessments (taught students)

Cheating and plagiarism, fraud and malpractice are taken very seriously. The procedure described here applies to all taught students and for those with taught elements within their research degrees.

Coursework extensions

Schools have their own procedures for considering whether to grant extensions to coursework deadlines.
