Paper submission of assignments

Submit paper copies of assignments through the Student Assignment Office.

You are expected to submit assignments when the office is open.

Please note that the student assignment office at Park campus has re-located to the first floor of the student centre.

See Student Assignment Office locations and opening times

Deadline

The deadline for paper copies is 16:00 on the day following the online submission. Be sure to collect your receipt and keep it safe.

How to submit your paper copy

  1. Check with your tutor if a front cover is required. If it is, attach it to the front of your work.
  2. If you have been granted an extension, attach the authorised extension form to the assignment prior to handing in. Without it the assignment will be recorded as late.
  3. Attach a fully completed receipt form to the assignment. Do not separate the copies of the receipt. Assignments will not be accepted without fully completed receipt forms. You must complete all the relevant boxes correctly, paying particular attention to the student name and number and module code boxes.

Using the drop boxes

Please be aware that submissions via the drop box carry a higher risk of being damaged and of not being accurately processed.

If you submit an assignment via a drop box you must:

  • Securely attach a fully completed receipt form. Assignments submitted without a receipt form will not be processed. The Student Assignment Office will attempt to match stray receipt forms and incomplete forms to assignments but this will be done as and when they have the time
  • Collect the date-stamped copy of the receipt form from the office as soon as possible after submission
  • If collection is impossible, attach to the assignment a stamped self-addressed envelope. The office will send the receipt to you
  • You are advised not to submit portfolios via a drop box. If this is the only option, the portfolio must be securely wrapped and the receipt securely attached. The Student Assignment Office will not be responsible for assignments that are damaged whilst using the drop box

Postal submission

Send your assignment to the relevant office by Recorded or Special Delivery.

If you would like a receipt sent back to you, remember to enclose a stamped addressed envelope.
