Late submission of work

Work is late if it is handed in after the due date, without an extension having been granted.  Work submitted up to five working days of the due date will be marked, but will only be eligible for a minimum passing mark in that assignment. Work received after five working days will not be marked and will receive a failing grade.

All assignments will be submitted via Learn dropboxes.

Requests for extensions

Extensions are reserved for exceptional circumstances only and are not granted automatically. In exceptional circumstances (eg illness, accident, bereavement or critical personal circumstances) individual students may be granted an extension of the due date for an assignment. Extensions will not be granted because of pressure of university study, eg several pieces of work being due at about the same time. Students are encouraged to plan their work in a realistic manner and in advance so that they can meet their assessment deadlines.

A request for an extension should be emailed to the Course Coordinator (patrick.shepherd@canterbury.ac.nz) at least three days prior to the due date for the assignment. If you apply for an extension, you will be asked to supply a medical certificate or other relevant evidence of special circumstances (eg a letter from a counsellor). Students who cannot meet these regulations because of extended illness or unusually exceptional circumstances must apply to the Head of School (or their nominee). Students will be notified of the outcome of their extension application via email.

Extensions will not normally be given for longer than one week from the due date unless exceptional circumstances prevail. No extensions will be granted after the due date of the assignment.

Resubmissions

Resubmissions are not available for this course.

Special consideration of assessment items

From Semester 1 in 2016 the following regulations and processes will replace previous policies and guidelines related to applications for Aegrotat Consideration and Backdated (Late) Withdrawal from Courses. Please refer to The University of Canterbury General Course and Examination Regulations H. Special Consideration, which is available at the following site:http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/regulations/general/general_regs_aegrotat.shtml

Students may apply for special consideration if their performance in an assessment is affected by extenuating circumstances beyond their control, where:
(a)  they have suffered an acute illness, injury, or other reasonably unforeseeable circumstances:
i.    which has prevented them from completing any major item(s) of work for assessment in a course; or
ii.   which has impaired their performance (including by interruption of pre-assessment revision) to the extent that the result(s) are likely to underestimate their true and evidenced level of mastery of the material in the course;
or
(b)  
i.    they have been selected to perform, compete, adjudicate, or officiate as a national sporting representative at national or international competitions; or
ii.   they are members of a national cultural group on tour nationally or internationally.
Please note that applications must be supported by evidence.  Further details are available at the above link.

Applications for special consideration should be submitted via the Examinations Office website http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/exams/ within five days of the assessment.

Where an extension may be granted for an assessment, this will be decided by direct application to the Course Co-ordinator and an application to the Examinations Office may not be required.

Special consideration is not available for items worth less than 10% of the course and may not be available for some other items of assessment as specified in Course Outlines.  (Refer to specific Course Outlines for this information.)

Students prevented by extenuating circumstances from completing the course after the final date for withdrawing, may apply for special consideration for late discontinuation of the course. Applications must be submitted to the Examinations Office within five days of the end of the main examination period for the semester.

NB: This information replaces any previous references to special consideration, Aegrotat or Backdated (Late) Withdrawal in the Course Information System, Learn or Course Outlines. If you are unclear about the implications or process please discuss with your Course Coordinator or contact the Student Advice team for assistance.
