The University penalty for assessed work submitted up to two weeks late without approved mitigation is a maximum capped mark of 50%. Assessed work submitted more than two weeks beyond a submission date without mitigation should receive a mark of zero.

No individual member of staff can grant an extension. Decisions are made by the Mitigation Committee and communicated via the Programme Administrator. If an extension is granted then the relevant systems (e.g. Turnitin and/or e-BART) are updated accordingly.

For Research Programmes

For details see in the Programme handbook for the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology:

Membership of the Mitigation Committee

Director of Clinical Training, at least two Programme Leads, Operations Manager

The remit of the mitigation committee is as follows:

1. Consider in the light of relevant supporting evidence claims for granting extension of the submission date for assessed work

2. Evaluate claims of Mitigating Circumstances received by the Programme

3. Consider applications for deferral.
