Submitting your assignment late

Can I submit an assignment if it’s late? Is there a penalty?

You can submit your assignment online via LMS after the due date. If the LMS system is closed for late submissions, email your assignment directly to your Unit Coordinator as soon as possible. You can find the Unit Coordinators contact details in the unit outline on LMS

The penalty for submitting an assignment late is 5% per day (including weekends and public holidays). This penalty is applied from day 3, with a penalty waiver being granted for the first 2 days (including weekends and public holidays). If you submit your assignment on day 3, the 5% late penalty for the first 2 days will be applied (15% in total). If you submit your assignment later than 7 days after the due date, you will receive a mark of zero unless you have an approved EVA application.  

The penalty waiver excludes timed assessments including tests/laboratories/mid-semester and final exams, and presentations.
