Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
Extensions to assignments, placements, deferred intra-semester tests and examinations
Students are only permitted one extension per assignment and one deferral per intra-semester test/examination/placement (on the grounds of illness or other special circumstances as per UC Assessment Procedures). Students are NOT PERMITTED to defer an already deferred intra-semester test, exam or placement. A request for extensions / deferral must be on the Assessment Extension form with relevant documentation and must be emailed to the Unit Convener as soon as possible and no later than 3 business days from the due date.
Students must make themselves available for deferred assessments which will be scheduled by the unit convener as per UC Assessment Procedures. Any student unable to undertake the deferred intra-semester test, exam, assignment, or placement will receive a mark of zero or fail grade for that assessment task.
Special assessment requirements
Note, it is COMPULSORY to attempt all the assessment items (written and oral assessments) AND gain a total marks of 50% or more to be able to pass this unit.
Using generative AI
Students are not permitted to use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in assessments for this unit.
Please note at UC, GenAI may only be used in authorised ways, for example when:
- the Unit Convener has explicitly authorised the use of GenAI for assessments;
- the student uses GenAI in the way that the assessment instructions allow; and
- the student fully acknowledges their use of GenAI, with proper citations, references and a GenAI Acknowledgement Statement in line with the assessment instructions.
The GenAI for Students Links to an external site. Library Guide provides further information, including how to reference GenAI.
Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
