Yep that is one of the reasons why I quit IT at the ANU. Stupid inflexible policies like that.
I always worked when I was at uni and I always talked to my department about when I can hand stuff in. In every case it was a 'we don't care you fail' answer.
I did some psychology then and they were the opposite. I explained that I worked and they said 'no problem!'.
IT/Engineering faculties everywhere need to learn that without students they would be out of jobs. It also does not hurt to be nice, people are not computers.
The best thing ever was when the assignment submit server went down. You got ZERO if that hapened. Their argument was you should plan for the server to go down and submit early.
I was young and had no idea back then. If I was there now, yeah I would hurt them.... a lot.
