This unit has an exception to the standard University policy or supplementary information has been provided by the unit coordinator. This information is displayed below:

Assessment tasks must be submitted by the due date by 23:59 (AEST/AEDT) unless a request for an extension is made at least 3 days prior to the due date. Requests for extensions should be submitted via email to the unit coordinator stating the reasons. Extensions granted by the unit coordinator will normally be no more than 3 days. This is because it is assumed that you commenced preparation of your assessment task well before the due date – not a few days before. The length of the extension granted will therefore be built on the assumption that work should have commenced on the assessment task well before the reason for the extension being requested. This policy has been developed to address a range of problems of a severe nature which interfere with a student’s ability to meet assessment requirements. Late assessment tasks that have not been granted extensions will attract a penalty of 5% of the maximum mark per day late including weekend days. Assessment tasks which are submitted more than 10 days late without prior approval will not be accepted and will be a fail. All assignments must be submitted by the due date. Students are expected to manage their time and to prioritise tasks to meet deadlines. Assessment items submitted after the due date without an approved extension using a special consideration or special arrangement form or request will incur the following penalties: • Late assignments that have not been granted extensions and are of a standard to receive a pass or higher mark will attract a penalty of 5% of the maximum mark per day (or part thereof) late including weekend days (e.g. if the assignment is worth 40 marks, the penalty is 2 marks per day late) until the mark reaches 50% of the maximum mark (e.g. 20 marks if the maximum is 40 marks). • Assignments that are not of a pass standard will not have marks deducted and will fail regardless. • Assignments submitted more than 10 days late without prior approval from the unit of study coordinator will not be accepted and will be given a zero (0) mark.
