Submission of assessment items

Special assessment requirements

Students who get 50% or more will pass the unit.

Supplementary assessment

Supplementary assessment will be available to those students with a final mark of 45-49%, but only if this is their final semester and they have failed no other unit in the semester.

5.2       Special consideration

For examinations administered by the Examinations Office see the . 

The says:

3.14 Special consideration is consideration given to students whose performance in a unit may be affected by unavoidable and adverse circumstances. Special consideration will normally result in extensions of time for submission of assessment items (see Assessment Procedures) or deferred examinations (see the Deferred Examination Policy).

The relevant provision is 3.14 in the :

3.14 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 according to the procedures described in the unit outline for the relevant unit. For advice on documentary evidence to support applications for extensions, please refer to the Assessment Guide that supports these 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.

5.3       Applying for Special consideration

If for any reason you are unable to do an assignment by the due date you must submit, to the unit convener, a request for an extension in writing before the due date (unless impossible) setting out in detail the genuine reason for requesting the extension.  If there is a medical or counselling reason for the extension request it must be accompanied by a medical or counselling certificate which clearly states:

• that you were unfit to complete the assignment;
• the date of the medical or counselling consultation; and
• the period for which you were / are / will be unfit to complete the assignment.

Evidence from UC AccessAbility, the Academic Skills Centre, the student counselling service or a Doctor may be helpful in seeking special consideration. However, it is only the unit convener who can grant an extension.

Refer to the

5.4       Due dates for assessment

All assignments are required to be submitted by the due date. 

There is no requirement for unit conveners to mark assignments that are submitted late. In particular, small assignments that are tied to specific parts of the unit delivery such as reflective journals or weekly contributions are part of formative assessment and due dates cannot be extended without harming the value of this form of assessment to others in the unit. All assignments are required to be submitted by the due date.  Assignments that are submitted late and do not have an acceptable reason will incur a penalty of 5 marks per day.

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 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 91Porn (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.

Additional information

Use of AI is not permitted in this unit.

The University's position is that artificial intelligence services must not be used for assessment or assessment preparation by students unless explicitly allowed in the assessment instructions for an assessment task published with the assessment task and/or in the unit outline. That is, an AI service may only be used if:

a) its use is authorised by the unit convener as part of the specified task; and

b) it is used in the way allowed in the assessment instructions and/or unit outline; and

c) its use is appropriately referenced, meaning that the students must reference the use of AI in their assessment in the same way as they reference other source material.

The use of AI has not been specified in the assessment instructions for the unit or in the unit outline and thus, AI is not a permissible resource.
