If you have genuine mitigating circumstances that prevent you from completing your assignment on time, you may be given a short-term extension which allows you to hand in your work up to 14 days late without being penalised.
If your difficulties mean that you need more than 14 days extension, you may be granted an opportunity to take a referral assignment at the next available opportunity - usually April or August - as a first attempt. This should be a different piece of work, which will not be penalised. This is known as a RA1.
Dissertations and final year projects may be given more than 14 days extension due to the nature of the assessment.
Similarly, if you miss an exam due to mitigating circumstances, you may be able to take a referral exam at the next available opportunity - usually April or August - as a first attempt and without penalty. This is known as a RE1.
It is not possible to get a short-term extension on the deadline for a referral assessment. However, if you have genuine mitigating circumstances that prevent you completing your referral work, you may be given another referral attempt at the next available opportunity.
