    Will they accept this? It was due in before the end of term,so on the day of the UCD Ball I brought it up to the school of Classics at around half 3,but there was no-one there.Someone else was in the same boat as me,we waited around for a while,but eventually just filled out the cover sheets and put them under the door.I REALLY need to pass that subject.Anyone know what will happen?

    I guess you mean the school office? I always thought administrators had a compulsory 9-5 day. I would have maybe taken a photo of the closed office and/or sent an e-mail to the school office when you posted it under the door so that there's no comeback for them.

    They do however they restrict opening hours after 3pm in some schools. The School of Sociology closes at 3pm so any assignments have to be handed in beforehand. I don't know about the School of Classics, you'll have to check with them.

    Nothing like brinksmanship. I guess it really must have been important to you...

    I had one Classics course as an elective this semester and they told us to have our papers in by three, so I think you missed it by half an hour.

    Every lecturer and even the postgrads have office keys in the school of Classics. You should have knocked on all the doors, you would have eventually gotten hold of a lecturer who would have stamped it for you. However, you should be fine, especially if you emailed the module coordinator for your course directly after doing this. If not, you might be fuked.

    This is why I love digital submission. I have never had to deal with this hassle thankfully. I just don't understand why the other schools don't do it. The facilities are there for them.

    It does mean I've had assignments with a 12 hour turn-around time though...

    Most schools have a policy whereby assignments will not be accepted if they are just pushed under the door. You should really go up and check with them to see if they got it and, more importantly, accepted it.

    Or, alternatively, a policy where they are accepted :p
