Submissions

Submission deadlines

• Deadlines are published in the Examination Regulations, course handbook, and/or the Gazette. 
• If you are unsure of the deadline contact your course administrator.
• Examination Regulations take precedence should any discrepancy occur in information from different sources.

Formatting your work

• Exam Regulations and/or course handbooks provide formatting details for your coursework.
• This varies between courses - check with your course administrator for further advice.

Candidate number

Your candidate number is available in Student Self Service on the Examination and Assessments page - this differs from your university card and student number. 

If you have written your name on your work, your anonymity could be affected in the marking process. It is your responsibility to ensure that you only use your candidate number.

Online submissions

If your course requires online submissions for summative assessment, this will happen using one of the following systems:

• Inspera
• Moodle (for Continuing Education courses)
• SAMS (for Saïd Business School courses)

Your course administrator will be able to provide you with the link to your coursework submissions site. Instructions on how to complete the coursework to Inspera, including a Quick Reference Guide are available at the Online Assessments - Online Coursework Submissions using Inspera page.

When you are ready and confident that your work is complete and suitable for submission you should ensure that you click the ‘Submit now’ button. Otherwise your work will not be submitted for marking and you could incur a late penalty.

Extensions and late submission

Please refer to the Regulations for the Conduct of University Examinations, and the Problems completing your assessment pages for more information on extensions and late submissions. 

Incorrect location

It is your responsibility to submit the correct piece of work to the correct location. 

Making changes to your work after submission (Inspera and Moodle)

Before the submission deadline

• Candidates who have submitted incomplete work or the wrong file may withdraw and resubmit on one occasion before the submission deadline, without the permission of the Proctors.
• The revised version should be emailed to the course administrator before the submission deadline.
• This revised version will be released to the Examiners and the previous submission will be disregarded.

After the submission deadline

• Candidates who wish to withdraw and resubmit after the submission deadline may do so by emailing the revised version to the department administrator within 30 minutes of their deadline. There is no requirement to secure permission from the Proctors to do so. After this 30 minute period has passed no withdrawal and resubmissions will be possible.

They will be able to assist you with next steps and applications to excuse lateness.
