6.1. 3.3 Penalties for Late or Non-Submission of Work

Late Submission of Coursework for the M.Sc. in Mathematics and Foundations of Computer Science (this includes mini-projects and the dissertation) is a serious matter and will usually result in academic penalties unless prior permission for late submission has been given by the Proctors. In the absence of such Proctorial permission, academic penalties will be as set out in Table 1 below. (Note that if the late submission penalty is higher than the mark for the submission, a candidate will be awarded a mark of zero.)

Where no work is submitted, a mark of zero will be awarded for that particular piece of work. The mark for any resit of the assessment will be capped at 50. Such a resit is only available once to candidates who initially fail the whole M.Sc. course.
