  • ¹úÃñ²ÊƱ has a standard late submission penalty of:

    • 5% per day,
    • for all assessments where a penalty applies,
    • capped at five days (120 hours) from the assessment deadline, after which a student cannot submit an assessment, and
    • no permitted variation.

    Students are expected to manage their time to meet deadlines and to request extensions as early as possible before the deadline.

  • It is important to read the information on the ¹úÃñ²ÊƱ Results page before applying for a review of results.

    Note: You must submit your application no later than 5 working days after the return of the piece of work or, in the case of an exam, 5 working days from the date of release of results.

    If you wish to request a re-assessment of a piece of work, you should first discuss your performance with the Course Authority. If you still believe, after discussion, that the mark you've received doesn't reflect your performance, you may apply for re-assessment.

    If a request is submitted for a review of result for a group assessment, then all group members must agree to the request for a review. In the event that the final mark and grade are adjusted following the review of result request, it will be adjusted for all group members.

    The review of result may lead to the mark going up, down or remaining unchanged.

    Keep all marked work in case it is needed for re-marking.

  • The ¹úÃñ²ÊƱ Policy on Class Attendance and Absence can be viewedÌý.ÌýÌý

    From time to time, the Course Authority may vary the attendance requirements for a course. It is the students’ responsibility to ensure that they are familiar with the specific attendance requirements stipulated in the course outline for each course in which they are enrolled.

    Students are expected to be regular and punctual in attendance at all classes in the courses in which they're enrolled. Where courses stipulate mandatory attendance requirements, students who seek to be excused from attendance [or for absence] must apply to the Course Authority in writing.

    Explanations of absences from classes or requests for permission to be absent from forthcoming classes should be addressed to the Course Authority in writing and, where applicable, should be accompanied by appropriate documentation, for example, a medical certificate. After submitting appropriate supporting documentation to the Course Authority to explain his/her absence, a student may be required to undertake supplementary class(s) or task(s) as prescribed by the Course Authority. If examinations or other forms of assessment have been missed, then the student should apply forÌý.

    The School of Education requires students to attend a minimum of 80% of scheduled classes (whether on-campus, off-campus, or online), and to demonstrate regularly and timely engagement in online, blended, or self-paced courses. For more information, see the Education Course Information page.
