On-line Submission of Assignments

Purpose

To clarify the submission and checking of assignments that have been submitted electronically and in hard-copy and to verify that the documents are the same.

Scope

This policy applies to all on-line submissions by students who are enrolled in units owned by the Faculty of Arts.

Policy Statement

• If required by the unit coordinator as stated in the Unit Guide, students are to submit an electronic copy of an assignment and a hardcopy of the same assignment.
• Electronic copies of assignments must be received by the due date and time.
• Any hardcopy of an assignment must be received within one working day of the due date and time.
• In order to avoid untimely delays in hardcopy submissions, it is recommended that unit coordinators set deadlines early in the day and early in the week.
• Unit coordinators should cross-check that the content of assignments submitted online and as hardcopy are the same.
• If a discrepancy between on-line submission and hard-copy submission is found, then disciplinary action for cheating will be initiated, under Statute 4.1, Part III, Item 8.
