I submitted my coursework on time, why is SurreyLearn showing it as submitted late?

The standard submission deadline at the University of Surrey is 4pm (16:00) on the given deadline day and a submission at or after 4:01pm (16:01) is defined as late.

Therefore any work that you submit up until 4:00.59pm (16:00.59) is considered to be on-time and acceptable.  Any work that you submit after that time (so 4:01pm/16:01 onwards) is considered late and is liable to incur a mark reduction penalty. 

If you have submitted your assignment before 4:01pm (16:01.00) on the day of the deadline, the 'Late' indicator in SurreyLearn can be ignored. The reason that this happens is that the submission folders in SurreyLearn are set up with a deadline of 4pm (16:00) which is the standard deadline. SurreyLearn then indicates that anything submitted at 4pm (16:00) onwards as 'Late'. So you can ignore this for any submissions made prior to 4:00.59pm (16:00.59).

It is important to note that SurreyLearn does not automatically deduct marks for late submission. Deductions are managed separately based on the time of submission and the University regulations.

If you have a question about late penalty application and the regulations, please contact the MySurrey Hive via Surrey Support and select "My Course" as your enquiry topic. If you are having problems or have questions regarding SurreyLearn, please contact the Digital Learning team.
