Handing in Coursework

Coursework and projects should be handed in, in the correct format to the appropriate location by the deadline published by your unit lecturer/facilitator/course administrator.

You should complete any appropriate submission form and ensure you are aware of the declaration of plagiarism against your coursework submission.  Please make sure you have put your Student Number (or Partner Student Number) on all coursework submitted.

Please note: Students should keep a copy of all coursework submission and any appropriate receipt.

Late Coursework

Coursework up to two weeks late will be marked and capped to the unit pass mark. Coursework more than two weeks late will be marked but awarded with a 0% mark.

Exams

Exams for your units will be scheduled at an appropriate venue, which could be your college/study centre, the University of Portsmouth, or if you are a studying on one of our distance learning courses, we can arrange examinations to be taken at your local British Council or approved exam centre. 

Please remember your proof of identification/ student registration card when you attend any exam. Failure to show appropriate identification may result in you being ejected from the exam room and consequently failing.

Once inside the exam room please follow all instructions given by the invigilators. You must remain silent throughout the exam and not create distracting noises of any kind.

Please make sure you have put your Student Number (or Partner Student Number) on all completed examination scripts.

Extenuating Circumstances

If you have a problem, which affected your study or assessments during your course, you should contact your college/study centre or us immediately to inform us of this situation. You will be asked to complete an Extenuating Circumstance form and return it to the office, with any documentary evidence. It will then be presented to the ECF Panel to decide if any action will be taken.  If your situation affects your study over a long period of time, it may be appropriate to request a study break.
