We receive numerous requests for extensions and it places a heavy burden on our administration. Some requests are justified, but a host of others are not. It also results in the fact that the NMMU is not able to fulfill its obligations towards Palama.

From 6 December the EDP Service Standards will apply. 

The system will no longer shut you out after the submission deadline has passed, and will allow you to upload late assignments, but penalties will be applied.

Late submissions that fall outside the scope of the EDP Service Standards will be dealt with as follows:

• Submission within 48 hours (2 days) after the due date and time: -10%
• Submission within 72 hours (3 days) after the due date and time: -20%
• Submission within 96 hours (4 days) after the due date and time: -30%
• After 4 days no submission will be possible.
