An examiners’ meeting will be held at the end of the course to determine final grades and ensure fairness and consistency.
Late work
Work is late if it is handed in after the due date, without an extension having been granted. Students will be advised of any penalties to be imposed for work handed in late without explanation. Penalties may range from a warning letter to the deduction of marks or grades. Lecturers reserve the right not to mark work that is handed in late. Students must check course outlines for details of policies on the submission of late work.
In the case of FLO students, assignments submitted via post or courier that are date stamped by the Academic Services Team more than two working days after the assignment’s due date will be considered late. Please note: Students assignments submitted by fax, email, hand delivery or drop-boxed to the Academic Services Team must do so before or on the due date.

If your work meets most (but not all) of the criteria required to pass, you may be given the opportunity to resubmit an assessment to bring it to a passing standard. Resubmissions are restricted to work that is originally submitted on or before the due date. Late assignments will not be considered for resubmission. Distance students will have ten days from expected receipt date to complete resubmissions. The original work and marking sheet must be attached to the resubmitted version.
A resubmitted assignment that meets the requirements will be awarded a minimum passing grade. Only one resubmit is permitted for each course. A resubmitted assignment that does not meet passing standard will be awarded a ‘D’.
NOTE: It may not be possible to allow resubmissions of the final assignment if this would compromise the ability of markers to meet deadlines for the submission of final course grades.
Complete an assignment cover sheet and attach a barcode. Staple this to the front of your assignment.
Each assignment (including resubmitted work) must have a separate, completed cover sheet. All pages must be stapled together securely.
Student work will be returned by post via the Academic Services Team. Students must allow up to 4 weeks for the return of work.
