Submission of assessment items

Extensions & Late submissions

Assessment items must be submitted to the assignment area in the unit's UCLearn site, relating to that piece of assessment. It is the student's responsibility to upload the correct and corresponding draft or assessment item, to the right submission section.

To pass this unit, students must:

• Attempt all assessment items (that is you must submit something, you cannot omit an assignment), and
• Achieve 50% overall.

In 2024 new Assessment Policies and Procedures were implemented at University of Canberra. Some key changes are: Assignment drop closes on the 4th day, and late assignments cannot be submitted. If you cannot submit on time, please ask your unit convenor for an extension. When the extension is approved the assignment dates will be adjusted. Late penalty has increased to 10% per day. 

Special assessment requirements

Moderation: Moderation will be undertaken for assessment items to ensure that marking is fair and consistent. Moderation processes are in line with the University Assessment Procedures.

Using AI for Assignments: University of Canberra has developed a guideline for the use of AI, available on the MyUC page. In academic work we use a range of tools to assist in work, including search engines, software packages for analysis and statistics, synthesis software such as systematic review software, and AI is another tool growing in accessibility and usage. UC has Microsoft Copilot, for staff and students to use, via your UC log in. Using your UC log in means the documents you load will not be made publicly available to the AI learning mechanism, but stay within the UC environment. Afterall you dont want your assignment, turning up in another student's work. Do not use Chat GTP, as you wont have this protection. 

Summary: Clearly state where and how in the assignment you have used AI. The academic work in the assignment needs to be your own, but you can use AI a range of ways, to get there. 

University Guidelines on Artificial intelligence

Students are permitted to use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) as indicated in the assessment instructions for this unit.

GenAI may only be used in authorised ways when completing assessments at UC. This means that GenAI can only be used for an assessment when:

• the Unit Convener has authorised GenAI use for that assessment
• the student uses GenAI in the way that the assessment instructions allow
• the student fully acknowledges their use of GenAI, with proper citations, references and a GenAI Acknowledgement Statement in line with the assessment instructions.

Where the assessment instructions do not specifically state that GenAI may be used and how, then its use is not permitted for that assessment. Students must still provide the required GenAI Acknowledgement Statement to indicate whether GenAI has or has not been used in the preparation of the assessment. If unsure, students should seek advice from the Unit Convener.

The GenAI for StudentsLinks 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.
