When Things Go Wrong

If you require an extension to the deadline for coursework you must

• Undergraduate students should contact the BA English/English with Film Deputy Programme Chair: Dr Ruvani Ranasinha, if you are taking an English Department (AAE coded) module or contact the BA American Studies Programme Chair: Dr Alison Stanley email alison.k.stanley@kcl.ac.uk (semester 1), Dr Alan Marshall (semester 2), if you are taking an American Studies (AAU coded) module 
• Postgraduate taught students should contact the MA Programme Chair: Professor Clare Brant
• Complete an Extension Request Form

You will receive an email confirming that your request has been granted, and the extension deadline.
Any coursework received after the deadline will be treated as a late submission and will not be marked, unless an extension or Mitigating Circumstances have been granted.
 

If you are unable to sit an examination, missed an assessment deadline, were unable to complete an examination, or felt your performance at an examination or in your assessed coursework was adversely affected due to illness or other good cause you must apply for a Replacement assessment. To do this you must:

• Contact the appropriate Programme Chair (see above)
• Complete a Mitigating Circumstances Form

Your application will be considered formally at the BA Programme Board meeting in June and arrangements will be confirmed with you shortly afterwards. More information is available on the ASQ pages.

Please note that computer failure will not be considered adequate grounds for an extension. When word-processing your work you should be sure to take adequate backups and to print out a copy in good time. If you are printing out your work in College, you should ascertain beforehand that your discs are compatible with the College system and be aware that there will be queues for the computing facilities in the busy pre-examination period. Plan to complete your work well before the deadline.
