Cork ETB operates a strict deadline policy to ensure fair and consistent assessment of learning. Unless there is a valid reason, the following penalties are imposed when an assessment is submitted late:
Lateness / Penalty / Instruction for assessor
Up to 7 days late / 10% / Multiply total mark by 90%
8 – 14 days late / 20% / Multiply total mark by 80%
15-28 days late / 50% / Multiply total mark by 50%
More than 28 days late / 100% / Award a total mark of zero
Valid reasons will take the form of ‘extenuating circumstances’ only! These are exceptional conditions that temporarily prevent a learner from completing an assessment activity, or situations that would seriously impair a learner’s performance in an assessment. Further information is available in the Cork ETB Assessment Handbook for Leaners. Students are strongly advised to read this document carefully!
