Late Assessment - please make sure if using an older version of the Humanities Unit Outline Template, copy and paste the following paragraph about Late Assessments after the Assessment section.

Late Assessment
Assessments must be submitted in the specified format by the due date. The submission time is indicated by the date stamped by the School on the assignment or the time that electronic submission is recorded.
