Assessment Exercises

Section

a. Where the Topic Coordinator determines that the nature or conditions of an assessment activity allow it, a student will be given a single opportunity to resubmit (or re-present) any failed assessment activity with a 20% or greater weighting, provided they:
i. meaningfully attempted the assessment activity (i.e. has made a tangible attempt to address the requirements of the assessment activity), and
ii. submitted the assessment activity by the due date (either the original due date or an extended/deferred due date granted in accordance with Procedure 4.2 or 4.3), and
iii. had not already received an opportunity for formal feedback on a draft of the assessment activity or completed a similar assessment set as a scaffolded activity to the final assessment, or
iv. had not received answer guides as part of the feedback.
b. Group assessment activities may be resubmitted by the whole or part of the group responsible for the original submission. A revised grade will only be awarded to those students contributing to the resubmission.
c. The student must notify the Topic Coordinator that they will resubmit the assessment activity within 48 hours of receiving the marked original submission.
d. The due date for resubmission will be one week after the return of the original submission, unless otherwise approved by the Topic Coordinator.
e. The maximum grade obtainable for a resubmitted assessment activity is a pass.
f. An extension for resubmitting assessment activities will only be granted in accordance with Procedure 4.1. Supporting information must be provided.

Supplementary Assessment:

a. Supplementary assessment provides an additional opportunity for a student who has not achieved a passing grade for a topic to demonstrate that they have achieved the learning outcomes of the topic by completing an additional assessment activity.
b. Academic grounds: Where the Topic Coordinator determines that the nature or conditions of the topic allow it student will be offered supplementary assessment if they do not achieve a passing grade for a topic provided that they:
i. have completed all required assessment activities for the topic
ii. have used all opportunities for resubmission, and
iii. have passed all non-graded hurdle requirements that apply to the topic
c. Special consideration: A student may apply to the College Dean (Education) for an award of supplementary assessment if they do not meet the requirements for an offer of supplementary assessment under b., but only on the grounds that their failure to achieve a passing grade and meet the requirements is due to unforeseen or exceptional circumstances reasonably beyond the student's control or knowledge.
d. Supplementary assessment will cover the learning outcomes not yet achieved. The type of supplementary assessment activity must be appropriate to the learning outcomes being assessed and will be determined by the Topic Coordinator.
e. The Student Administration Services will notify students of the offer or award of supplementary assessment, and include the nature, time and location of the assessment activity in the notification.
f. If the supplementary assessment is a centrally administered examination, it will be held as follows: Semester 1 topics: before the commencement of Semester 2
Semester 2 or full year topics: before the commencement of the following academic year
g. The student's supplementary assessment will be used to determine the final grade for the topic, but only the final grades of:
Pass (P)
Non-Graded Pass for Satisfactory Performance (NGP) and Fail (F)
- will be awarded.
h. If a student chooses not to undertake supplementary assessment, the student will be awarded a result of Fail (F).
i. If unforeseen or exceptional circumstances prevent a student from undertaking or completing a scheduled supplementary assessment, the student will be offered an alternative supplementary assessment prepared by the Topic Coordinator and approved by the College Dean (Education).
j. If the unforeseen or exceptional circumstances are demonstrated to persist the student will be awarded a WN for the topics as soon as possible and no later than six months after the completion of the topic.
k. A student may request a review of a decision not to award them a supplementary assessment on the basis of unforeseen or exceptional circumstances in accordance with the Student Review and Appeal Policy and supporting procedures.

Deferred Assessment

a. A student who is unable to attend or remain for the duration of an assessment that is time and location dependent (e.g., test or examination, Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), laboratory practical, oral interview, etc.) due to unforeseen or exceptional circumstances may apply to defer the assessment.
b. Deferred assessment will not be granted on the grounds that a student has mistaken the time or location of an assessment unless the College Dean (Education) determines otherwise in any particular case.
c. Applications for deferred assessment must be made using the deferred assessment application form, and must be submitted to the College responsible for the topic within three University business days of the assessment date.
d. Where the circumstances prevent the student from applying within this time, requests may be considered at the discretion of the College Dean (Education).
e. The Student Administration Services team will notify students of the outcome of their application for deferred assessment no later than five University business days after the receipt of the completed application.
f. The Topic Coordinator will determine the nature, time and location of the deferred assessment activity. Students will be notified at the earliest possible time.
g. Centrally administered deferred assessment examinations will be held as follows: Semester 1 topics: before the commencement of Semester 2
Semester 2 or full year topics: before the commencement of the following academic year
h. If unforeseen or exceptional circumstances prevent the student from attending or remaining for the duration of a scheduled deferred assessment, the student will be offered the opportunity to demonstrate competence through an alternative assessment prepared by the Topic Coordinator and approved by the College Dean (Education).
i. If unforeseen or exceptional circumstances are demonstrated to persist the student will be awarded a Withdraw, Not Fail (WN) for the topic as soon as possible and no later than six months after the completion of the topic.

b. Students who have been accepted to either the Elite Athlete or Defence reserves study support program, and who require a variation to their assessment methods or procedure on the basis of their commitments, may negotiate variations directly with the relevant Topic Coordinator.
c. Students who are:
• from a non-English speaking background (NESB), or
• an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander , whose first language is not English, and who speak a language other than English at home
- will receive the following variations to test and examination procedures:
i. extra time of ten minutes per hour of the test or examination; and
ii. use of an English language dictionary*, except where the Topic Coordinator determines that the nature of the examination in a particular topic may make the use of a dictionary inappropriate
* Electronic, specialised, technical, scientific and notated dictionaries are not permitted unless approved by the Topic Coordinator.
d. A NESB student is a student who, at the time of commencement:
i. was born outside of Australia and is from a non-English speaking country
ii. has lived in Australia or another English-speaking country (i.e. New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom or the USA) less than ten years previously, and
