Guidance for students regarding submission issues:
1. If you are unable to take/complete your exam due to a sudden and unforeseen situation, follow the guidance on Exceptional Circumstances. This will not allow you to submit late, but depending on if you meet the criteria, you may be offered an uncapped resit.
Be aware that technical issues are not accepted criteria for Exceptional Circumstances claims.
2. If you have completed your exam but experience issues submitting your exam, (such as a problem with Canvas/connectivity), email the school office at [email protected] within 15 minutes* of the exam end time, with the PDF file you were attempting to upload; You must provide your file in PDF format and this file must not have been modified after Exam has closed.
*If you have an issue that prevented you from contacting us within the 15-minute timeframe, such as an internet provider issue that required the attendance of a service provider, the Directors of Teaching and Learning may consider your case if notified by midnight (UK Time) on the day of submission. However, in order to consider your case, at a minimum they will need a copy of your work saved as a pdf file, unedited past the end time of the exam, plus clear evidence of the issue you experienced. They will then consider your case and make a decision at their discretion, on whether the exam will be accepted.
If students are required to embed any handwritten components within their assessment, such as mathematical calculations, or drawings, which have been saved as an image file, they will need to include at least 20 words of typed text for the file to be accepted by Turnitin.
To ensure the file is accepted, it is recommended that students paste any images/ screen captures into this page of the rubric, which already has sufficient words of typed text within it. Alternatively, students must make sure the page they are adding images to has sufficient typed words in it prior to submission.
It is recommended that Word files which include images or screen shots are saved as PDF to retain formatting before submitting. Please be aware that if text is only added after the file has been converted to a PDF, Turnitin will not accept the file. The text must be in the original document created in Word.
NB: Images and scans are accepted through Canvas Online assignments, so this page will not be required if that is the assessment submission point.
