Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Guided - Students will be guided on how GenAI must/may be used in completing the assessments as detailed in the unit outline and assessment instructions. More detailed information can be found at GenAI and Assessment at UC.
Please refer to each assessment item description on the unit's teaching site to determine where the use of AI and GenAI is permitted (and how so) and where it is prohibited. Any use of AI and GenAI must be appropriately acknowledged and referenced and must comply with what is permitted in the relevant assessment description. Further guidance is available in the Referencing GenAI guide and full assessment details in the unit's Canvas teaching site.
Extensions
Students can apply for an extension to the submission due date for an assessment item due to extenuating, evidenced circumstances (specific details are found in the Assessment Procedures). An extension must be applied for before the due date. Documentary evidence (e.g. medical certificate) will be expected for an extension to be granted, however this will not guarantee that the application will be successful. The Unit Convener or relevant Program Director/Course Convener will decide whether to grant an extension and the length of the extension.
An Assignment Extension form is available from the Student Forms page.
Late submissions
The following late submission period and penalty is applicable to any teaching period commencing after 1 April 2024.
To support the provision of timely feedback to students within the unit, late penalties will apply for summative assessments where late submission is permitted. Late submissions without an approved extension or reasonable adjustment will result in a penalty of a mark reduction of 10% of the maximum available marks for the assessment item per day (or part thereof) up to and including three calendar days. If a student submits more than three calendar days late without an approved extension or reasonable adjustment, the student will be allocated a mark of zero for that assessment, with no feedback provided.
Approval of extensions based on extenuating circumstances will be dependent upon the production of supporting documentation and at the discretion of the unit convener.
For teaching periods commencing prior to 1 April 2024, a late penalty of 5 % of the maximum available marks for the assessment item per day (or part thereof) was applied up to and including seven calendar days. An assignment submitted over 7 days late will not be accepted.
Special assessment requirements
Normally an aggregate mark of 50% is required to pass the unit.
The final grade for the subject is then determined according to the following table:
| 85 <= Final mark <= 100 |
Final grade = HD |
| 75 <= Final mark < 85 |
Final grade = DI |
| 65 <= Final mark < 75 |
Final grade = CR |
| 50 <= Final mark < 65 |
Final grade = P |
| 0 <= Final mark < 50 |
a final grade (NX, NC, or NN) |
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.
