Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
To fulfil the learning outcomes of the unit a minimum of a Pass grade is required for all assessment items.
No extensions - all deadlines to be met. Deadlines are important to uphold in the industry and Graphic Designers must come to terms with them. If you miss a deadline due to illness or extenuating circumstances, please submit your work with a doctor's or counsellor's certificate valid for the period of time specified. All project extensions need to be discussed with your Unit Convener before the submission deadlines.
Late submissions will attract a penalty of 5% per day. Work submitted 5-7 days late will be assessed on a Pass/Fail basis. Work submitted 7+ days late will not be assessed and result in a Fail for the project and unit.
Students receiving a Fail result for a project may resubmit within one week for a Pass/Fail result.
Don't wait until after a project is due to ask for help. If you are having difficulties with a project, contact your tutor sooner rather than later.
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.
