 Workload and deadlines for submission of coursework:           

The University of Auckland's expectation is that students spend at least 10 hours per week on a 30-point course, including time in class and personal study. Good students typically spend a lot more time on study than this minimum.  Students should manage their academic workload and other commitments accordingly. Deadlines for coursework are set by course convenors and will be advertised in course material. You should submit your work on time. In extreme circumstances, such as illness, you may seek an extension but you may be required to provide supporting information before the assignment is due. Late assignments without a pre-approved extension may be penalised by loss of marks – check course information for details.
