Formal and informal evaluation will take place in accordance with the relevant Course Evaluation Policy, to provide feedback to teaching staff about the relevance and validity of what has been learned as well as the quality of course delivery.

The College undertakes a process of internal and external moderation of assessment. This is to ensure the assessment system is fair, equitable, consistent and manageable.

Work is late if it is handed in after the due date without an extension having been granted. No credits will be given for work submitted late unless prior approval for an extension is given by the lecturer. All work must be completed by the end date of the course. FLO students – refer to the Assessment Guidelines for Students.

Under exceptional circumstances students may be granted an extension of the due date for an assignment. Extensions are not granted automatically. If you require an extension, you must apply in writing to the course lecturer prior to the due date for submission of the assignment. Extensions are normally given for no longer than two weeks after the advertised due date for the assignment.

Where a student fails to meet the requirements she or he may be given the opportunity to resubmit the work to achieve the desired standard. The lecturer will give a date by which the assignment must be resubmitted. Please note:
• Resubmissions will be permitted only in situations where the student has achieved most, but not all, of the requirements outlined on the marking rubric for that assessment task.
• Work may be resubmitted only once.
• Late work, that is work submitted without gaining a prior extension, will not be given an opportunity to be resubmitted.

Students will be expected to submit their assessments via the online assessment system in the Learn class site by 5.00pm on or before the due date. The lecturer may also ask students to submit assessment work through the software Turnitin, to check for plagiarism. If this option is available students will submit work through Turnitin and obtain a report, after submitting assignments for marking via the Learn site. It is the responsibility of the students to check their Internet access and ability to submit their work via the online system.  Any technical difficulties should be notified well in advance of the due date so that assistance can be provided or alternative arrangements can be negotiated. (Students who have unreliable internet access are advised to attend to this early in the course to prevent last minute pressures.)
