• you were unable to attend for an assessment or reassessment, or;  
• you were unable to submit assessed or reassessed work by the scheduled date due to illness or other valid cause (as defined in the Procedures Governing Extenuating Circumstances), may submit an application for extenuation for the relevant component(s) to Unicaf Extenuating Circumstances team Once a component has been capped, extenuation does not uncap it.  
 
Academic misconduct including plagiarism  Ensure  that  you  are  familiar  with  the  relevant  regulations  regarding  academic misconduct.  By submitting the assignment, you declare that it is your own work and that the material and sources of information used, including internet sources, have been fully identified and properly acknowledged. In  addition,  you  confirm  that  the  presented  work  has  not  been  submitted  for  any  other  assessment. 

You also acknowledge that the faculty reserves the right to investigate allegations of plagiarism and other  forms  of  academic  misconduct  which,  if  proven  and  dependent  on  the  severity  level  of  the offence, may result in a penalty that could affect your progress. By  submitting  your  work,  you  acknowledge  that  you  have  read  and  agreed  with  the  above statements. 
 
Your  assignment  should  be  MS  Word  processed  (handwritten  assignments  are  not  accepted), using  Times  New  Roman  size  12  font,  double  spaced,  with  numbered  pages  and  your  student number printed as a footer on every page. Note this is a report supported by academic research so you  should  adhere  to  the  appropriate  referencing  guidance.  The  word  limit  stated  for  this assignment excludes the list of references at the end of the assignment but includes all text in the main  body  of  the  assignment  (including  direct  quotations,  in-text  citations,  footnotes,  tables, diagrams  and  graphs).  Please  be  aware  that  exceeding  the  word  limit  will  affect  the  academic judgement of the piece of work and may result in the award of a lower mark.

Appendices are not considered  a  supplement  and  will  not  be  assessed  as  part  of  the  content  of  the  assignment.  As 
such,  they  will  not  contribute  to  the  grade  awarded;  however,  it  may  be  appropriate  to  use  an Appendices  section  for  any  material  which  is  a  useful  reference  for  the  reader.  Please  note  that appendices  are  not  included  in  the  word  count.  The  majority  of  references  should  come  from secondary  sources  (e.g.  journal  articles,  conference  papers,  reports,  etc.)  although  you  can  also utilise  area  specific  textbooks.  You  must  ensure  that  you  use  the  Harvard  style  of  referencing. 
Please indicate the word count length at the end of your assignment.
