TIPS
Ensure you keep a copy of all assessments that you submit.
Make yourself familiar with the process for submitting assessments prior to the due date.
Submission Date and Time OUA
Assignments should be submitted no later than the due time and date. Please note that where a due time is specified, it refers
to Australian Eastern Standard Time (EST) or Australian Eastern Daylight Sayings Time (EDST) in the appropriate months.
Eastern Standard Time (EST) First Sunday in April, to the First Sunday in October Eastern Daylight Savings Time First
Sunday in October, to the First Sunday in April Assignment items submitted after the due time and date may be subject to
an academic penalty, unless an extension of time has been previously approved. Please ensure that you retain an electronic
back-up copy of each assignment. While care is taken, the University accepts no responsibility for lost assignments.
Problems with the retrieval of work produced on a computer will not be accepted as an excuse for the late submission of an
assignment. Important: Only one attachment (the assignment) can be submitted. Emails containing more than one
attachment will not be accepted. This will be strictly adhered to. Staff will record the date of receipt and forward a copy of
your assignment to the tutor/lecturer. Unless otherwise specified by the tutor, marked assignments will be returned to you
by mail. Assignments will generally be returned within three weeks of the due date of submission. Assignment marks are
final and are not open to negotiation. Do not send assignments directly to the tutor/lecturer, unless specifically requested.
Acknowledgement of Receiving Assignment
The University's email system will generate an automated reply when the Centre receives your assignment. If there is a
problem such as: no assignment attached; not able to print the attachment; no cover sheet etc., a staff member will send you
an email describing the problem. Please check your student email account two working days after sending your assignment,
to confirm that we have not experienced problems receiving your assignment. The assignment will be date-stamped
according to the date of receipt of the email from which we can successfully print the assignment. After sending you an
email stating a problem exists with your assignment, we will expect you to send a corrected version. If, after two days, we
have not received a response we will send you another email stating the problem. COE staff will take no further action if
there is no response to our second email to you. Staff will assume you are no longer submitting the assignment and nothing
will be sent to the marker.
General Policy on Extensions
- This applies only if the Unit has NOT specified a policy on extensions (check pages in the unit's Assessment
section).
Important
Extension requests should be made as early as possible to [email protected]
Late submission of written work will result in a deduction of 10% of the mark awarded for each week or part of a week
beyond the due date, or date to which an extension has been granted.
Extensions are granted only on grounds of illness or misadventure, and appropriate supporting documentation must be
submitted. Work submitted after 3 weeks beyond the due date, or the date after which an extension has been given, will not
be accepted. If you are having problems completing an assignment, please contact the tutor as early as possible.
