You are advised:

Responsibility for the work rests with you at all times until issue of the receipt, regardless of the method of submission.

• Work may be submitted in advance of the deadline.
• You may submit your work in person, ask another person to submit on your behalf, post via Royal Mail or courier or leave it in the Examination Schools post box. Sending your assignment by post or courier means that you will not obtain your copy of a receipt and you cannot guarantee the submission time or the condition of work submitted in this way. Leaving the work in the Examination Schools post-box is not recommended as it is not checked on a regular basis.
• The issue of a receipt does not guarantee that submitted work will be accepted for assessment if it has been presented after the stipulated deadline.
• There are no printing facilities in the Examination Schools.

Work submitted after the deadline:

It is your responsibility to ensure that your work is submitted by the deadline. Work submitted after the deadline will be processed in the standard manner and, in addition, the late submission will be reported to the Proctors' Office. If you are late in handing work in you should consult your college senior tutor as a matter of urgency.
