Progress If things start to go wrong it is important to talk to your project supervisor, the dissertation Project Officer or your personal tutor. This will help us to help you more quickly and effectively.
Extensions to deadlines Extensions may be granted if you are ill or unable to work and obtain a valid medical note, or there are other exceptional extenuating circumstances. You must inform your supervisor as soon as possible that you have been ill or unable to work due to other circumstances. The medical note must be handed in to the Department Office (Reception) to be placed in your Departmental file.  See the Extenuating Circumstances web page.
Late start this only applies to undergraduates e.g. overseas student on an exchange programm. If you are not allocated a project until a week or two into semester 1 of the third year, you must still meet the normal deadlines, although you will be given a week or two's grace for the 'Dissertation project: Description' report - you should agree this with your supervisor. It should be possible to catch up over the remaining six month period of the project. You should make sure that your supervisor records the date that you start your project as this detail may be useful when the project is assessed.
