NOTE: Submissions after the specified time will be considered as late submissions and may be considered as a non-submission unless due to medical and/or extenuating circumstances as stipulated in Clause 2 herein.
Students are advised to start their research on the assignments as soon as possible. Working to a slightly earlier deadline will leave students time to cope with any last minute problems, whether as to substance or technical in nature (e.g. network connection). Late submission of an assignment due to medical or any other extenuating circumstances, must be supported by a medical certificate or any other supporting document. The document(s) must be submitted along with the assignment immediately upon the expiry of the medical leave or at the date approved by the lecturer / tutor, whichever is earlier. Only medical certificates with dates which correspond with the date of submission of the relevant assignment(s) shall be accepted.
All requests for an extension of time to submit coursework assignments will only be granted in extenuating circumstances. All requests for such extensions must be made in the Appeal for Late Submission of Assignment Form, which is available at www.lms.help.edu.my within THREE (3) working days of the deadline. Reason(s) for such request must be stated clearly in the Form and where appropriate, must be supported by a medical certificate or any other supporting document for purposes of verification by the Administrative Office of the Department.
Any request for extensions made after the expiry of three (3) days from the deadline will NOT be entertained except in exceptional circumstances where illness, hospitalization or bereavement may have prevented a student from making such requests. Any incomplete request forms will NOT be entertained.
An ‘acceptable reason’ for an extension means any situation which, in the opinion of the lecturer or tutor concerned, would have prevented a competent, well-organised, conscientious student from being able to submit his coursework within the stipulated deadline. Students are required to inform their lecturers or tutors of any reason which may seriously affect their work, whether or not an extension is required as a consequence.
Lifting the work, thoughts and idea(s) of another and presenting them as one’s own without properly acknowledging its source, amounts to plagiarism. Plagiarism is a form of cheating and is a serious offence.1 Any student found to have committed plagiarism will be dealt with as stipulated in the University and/or Programme Handbooks.
Students are required to submit the assignment via the HLMS using the template provided. Students need to ensure that the assignment is submitted onto the HLMS within the scheduled submission period.
