Until 31 December 2024:
Any assessment task (excluding take home exams) submitted after the due date and time, will be either:
- rejected without assessment (where the subject outline states that this will be the consequence of an assessment task being submitted after the due time on the due date)
or - penalised by way of loss of marks (five per cent (5%) of the marks for the assessment task will be deducted per day for assessment tasks submitted after the due date.
A penalty for late work will not apply in cases of approved extensions by the Subject Coordinator. Approved extensions cannot be made without a request for extension or application for special consideration.
A penalty may not apply after due consideration of any submission (request for extension or application for special consideration) by the Academic Liaison Officer (ALO), on behalf of students registered with Accessibility Services.
From 01 January 2025:
All students who submit an assessment after the due date/time (+60 minutes) without an approved extension, or after the due date/time (+60 mins) of an approved extension, will be subject to late penalties as follows for assessment task:
- a late penalty of 5% per day for up to seven calendar days (i.e. a maximum of 35% penalty);
- work submitted after seven calendar days (i.e. on the eighth day or later) will not be marked and, as a result, the assessment will attract a zero (0) mark;
- students may not be provided feedback; and
- no variations of the above (e.g. 10% penalty per day) are permitted.
