Meeting deadlines is essential for success in BTEC programs and beyond. There is little time in the academic year to fully cover all assignments, so sticking to deadlines set by teachers is crucial. Missing deadlines will result in a maximum grade of only a PASS, regardless of the quality of work. Submitting assignments by the deadline allows opportunities for upgrades if the initial grade is not high. Late submissions require approval and will only be accepted for genuine documented reasons at the teacher's discretion.

1. DEADLINES
1. Meeting deadlines is extremely important
in order to succeed at BTEC and will get
you ready for Uni/Apprenticeships/Jobs.
2. There is not a lot of time throughout the
academic year to cover the majority of
assignments in detail. Therefore it is
essential you stick to the given deadlines
by teachers.

2. DEADLINES
According to Edexcel (BTEC Awarding Body).
For Distinction grade criteria.
‘The term ‘working independently’ means that they are
able to work on their own initiative, do not need
constant support or supervision, give the work their full
commitment, work positively and cooperatively with
others, and meet deadlines. In other words, they
have the kind of self-management skills that would be
expected of them in a professional context.’

3. DEADLINES
1. If you miss any of the given deadlines the
highest grade you will achieve will be a PASS
regardless of the content and quality of the
assignment.
2. If you submit within the given deadline and it
achieves an NYA (Not yet achieved) you will
have the opportunity to upgrade within that
term. For example if an assignment is due early
November you have until Christmas to submit.

4. DEADLINES
• When submitting work you will be informed:
• You have an opportunity to upgrade this
assignment during the term in which it has been
submitted. If you do not resubmit within this time
frame you will not be able to improve your grade.

5. DEADLINES
If you do have a genuine reason for late
submissions it will be down to the
individual teacher to decide which
course of action to take.
Approval for late submission is at the
discretion of the course team, and will only
be approved for genuine, and where
necessary documented, reasons.

6. DEADLINES
The following information must be done upon
every submission of any assignment. All of
which should be followed. Particularly the
information regarding what to include to

7. DEADLINES
Submitted work
Always check the assignment brief to ensure you have completed all
the necessary tasks BEFORE you submit the work.
You should keep an electronic copy of each completed assignment
for your reference and this should be on the college H drive – failure
to save to the college system will be no excuse for none submission
of work by a deadline if the files are lost or corrupted
All assignments graded and returned to you must be placed in your
own student file which must remain in college.
All work within the assignments must be your own work. It should not
be copied from another student nor cut & pasted from articles on the
