Submission of assessment items

Extensions & Late submissions

All assessment items should be submitted online, via the unit Canvas site. The first page of each assessment submission should include the following information:

Student Name:

Student ID:

Assessment Name:

Late Submission of Projects

Students submitting work late will receive a reduction in available marks of 5% per day (e.g. if an assessment was submitted three days late a mark of 70% would be reduced to 55%, or put another way, if a student was awarded 21 out of 30 and submitted three days late their mark would be reduced to 16.5 out of 30), up to a maximum of seven days at which time the assignment will no longer be accepted, unless there are approved extenuating circumstances.  Detailed information is found in section 9.12 of the Assessment Policy and Procedures. Staff wishing to deviate from this policy will need to state the deviation here (e.g. no late submissions accepted).

Note: The 5% reduction is applicable from Semester 2, 2015 onwards. Final grades entered into Gradebook must reflect the final grade after any reduction applicable for lateness (refer to section 9.12 of the Assessment Policy and Procedures).

If you missed the deadline due to illness or extenuating circumstance; please submit with a doctor's or counseling note valid for the period of time specified. All extensions need to be discussed and agreed with your tutor or Unit Convener before the assessment deadline.

Resubmission

Students who have failed to achieve a pass result can resubmit. The resubmission is due within one week of the date of notification. The maximum grade that a resubmitted assignment can earn is a Pass.

Special consideration

Applications for an extension to the due date for submission of an assessment item on the grounds of illness or other unavoidable and verifiable personal circumstances (that is, special consideration) should be submitted via email to the unit convener. Each application for an extension has to be supported by appropriate documentation. For advice on documentary evidence to support applications for extensions, please refer to the Assessment Guide that supports the Assessment Procedures.

“Students should apply for extensions before the due submission date, and are advised to do so as early as possible. Applications after the due submission date may be considered only in exceptional circumstances” (3.14 Assessment Procedures).

This section only refers to students who have not been granted an extension (see above).

All work must be completed and submitted by the due date.  Work submitted after the due date will only be assessed on a pass or fail basis and without comments, unless an extension has been given.

Extensions should be sought before the due date for an assignment. Extensions will only be given for substantial medical or similar reasons.

Work submitted more than one week after the due date will only be assessed at the lecturer's discretion.

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.

Learner engagement

Students who need assistance in undertaking the unit because of  a disability or other circumstances, should inform their Unit Convener or UC AccessAbility as soon as possible, so that the necessary arrangements can be made.
