Open toolFrequently Asked Questions
How much do you get penalised for a late assignment at Uni?
At the university, the standard late penalty is 5% of the total maximum mark for the assignment per day it is late.
Is the penalty deducted from my score or the total score?

What happens if I submit my assignment more than 7 days late?
According to Uni policy, assignments submitted more than 7 days after the due date (without an approved extension) will generally receive a mark of zero.
