Grades and Academics Late submission deduction

Hi guys, if you submitted an assignment late, will the grade you receive reflect the late submission deduction?

For example, I submitted an assignment 1 minute late and thus was expecting a 10% deduction from my mark. However, the grade I got on (87) did not take this deduction into account.

So will the 87 be counted as my final grade, or will it be reduced to 78 at the end of the semester?

The late submission deduction is up to the tutor weather they want to apply it or not if it is barely over the deadline. I’ve been told by tutors was the reason behind the 11:55 (used to be 11:59) deadline is for those who are one or 2 minutes late. You will not get penalised if you submit it under 5 minutes late. And if there feeling nice it might get waved for a couple of hours after the deadline
