You may choose to defer the assignment once only and for one submission date only. Students opting for a deferral will still attend the scheduled teaching sessions(if appropriate), however, they will be submitting their assignment at the next available date. Deferral will not affect the grade you receive for your assignment.
Deferral requests should be made using the Register for deferral/resubmission form and can be submitted up until the last working day before the assignment submission deadline.
If you have previously failed to submit the assignment you should use the 'Register for deferral/resubmission' form above to register to submit the assignment and to pay the resubmission charge.
An administration charge of £75 will be made by CIPR for deferral or resubmission of the assignment. There is no charge to resubmit previously submitted but failed assignments.
Individual assignment deferrals and course deferrals can only be actioned once all course fees have been paid in full or instalment payments are up to date.
Please note that you must keep your membership of the CIPR active until you successfully complete the course.
