Penalties for late submission without

approval

Two day weekends will count as one day in the

calculation of a penalty for late submission.
When a public holiday falls immediately before
or after a weekend, the three days will count as
one day in the calculation of a penalty for late
submission.
When two public holidays (e.g. Easter), fall
immediately before or after, or one day either
side of a weekend, the four days will count as
two days in calculating the penalty for late
submission.
When a single public holiday falls mid-week,
the day will not be counted towards the
calculation of a penalty.
