Two hard copies of your final dissertation must be submitted to the drop box outside DCS Reception by 3:00pm on the day of the deadline.  Each copy of the dissertation should have a bar code cover sheet securely attached to it. If you would like to have an archive copy for the future, you can bind one of the copies and ask your supervisor to return it to you. A limited number of black covers are available from reception.

In addition both your code and the dissertation must be submitted electronically via MOLE. Also you have to fill in a form giving your dissertation title, and abstract and also booking any equipment you need for the poster session. Both the title and abstract can be cut and pasted from your dissertation source. This information is what is used to create the pages that will eventually appear in the  Past Dissertations web page and will be available permanently associated with your name so it is important to get it right.

Please be aware that when you submit through MOLE your dissertation will also be sent to Turnitin. Turnitin is simply a tool to help locate potential sources of plagiarism for the academics who mark your work. The decision to actually deem a project as plagiarised will be made by an academic, and only after careful consideration of your submitted work and the sources referenced in the report. If you have written your report in your own words and used properly cited sources you have nothing to worry about.  You will only be able to submit one copy of your work to MOLE (so make sure it's the correct version). More generally, the result of using Turnitin will be to assure the quality of DCS degrees, preventing students who might be prepared to use unfair means from acquiring the same qualification as those who have earned them themselves.

The normal University rules for late submission apply but with a project worth so many credits you have a lot to lose by handing in late. So don't do it.
