POLICY OUTLINE:

Submission of Assessment Tasks

It is a student's responsibility to ensure that they submit assessments correctly. Subject and unit outlines shall contain the instructions on how, where, and when assessment tasks are to be submitted. With every assessment task submitted, students are required to declare that their work is their own.

Students in all VET units are allowed two attempts at each assessment task. The first attempt must be submitted by the assessment due date. The second attempt must be submitted within two weeks from the date on which the student received feedback on their first attempt. An incorrect assessment submission or non-submission will be counted as the first attempt. Assessment items not submitted with in the due dates will receive a Not Yet Satisfactory.

Extension of Assessment Task Due Date

Extension of the assessment deadline will only be granted on the following grounds where supporting documentation is provided (for example, doctor’s certificate, death certificate, or letter from psychologist):

  • medical illness;
  • extreme hardship;
  • compassionate grounds;
  • faculty supervised project amendment.

Late Assessments

VET Students

Students who fail to apply for an extension are not permitted to submit assessments late. They will receive a Not Yet Satisfactory for that assessment item.

Requests for Extension
 
This form is to be used by any student who wishes to apply for:
- an extension that is beyond four weeks from the original asessment due date
OR
- an extension when the original due date has passed without a valid approved extension
 
 
NOTE:
  • Extensions up to 2 weeks beyond the original due date may be approved by your lecturer (please complete the regular Request for Extension Form at least 48 hour before the original due date and contact your tutor/facilitator to let them know)
  • Extensions up to 4 weeks beyond the original due date may be approved by your Program Director (please complete the regular Request for Extension Form at least 48 hour before the original due date and contact your Program Director + tutor/facilitator to let them know)
  • Extensions of 4+ weeks beyond the original due date may be approved by the relevant Student Affairs Committee ONLY (students must complete this form).
