· . The word limit for your assessed work EXCLUDES both the bibliography and title.

· . Please be aware that even if you are just a few words over the limit you WILL be penalized – the department uses the Turnitin software package which, if necessary, will instantly confirm the exact word count (but if you are over we will subtract the words in the bibliography and title first then look again).

· . Don't forget that you have to complete electronic submission by 2pm on the day of the deadline and that there are penalities for late submission without a formal extension. You are welcome to submit at any time before the deadline.

· . Any extension requests have to be made on the Department's online form, NOT by e-mailing your tutor/convenor, and should be made in advance of the deadline.
