You will need to submit both your dissertation and your code electronically via Blackboard. You are required to fill in a 'Dissertation Submission Form', providing your dissertation title and abstract. This information is included on your transcript and is also used to create the pages that will eventually appear in the Past Dissertations web page - the information provided will be permanently associated with your name, so it is important to get it right.

Please note that hard copies of your project are no longer required - submission is electronic only.

When you submit your work through Blackboard, 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 Blackboard (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.
