Special Considerations

Any student who has been impaired by significant exceptional and/or unforeseeable circumstances that have prevented them from completing any major assessment items, or that have impaired their performance such that the results are not representative of their true level of mastery of the course material, may apply for special consideration through the formal university process. The applicability and academic remedy/action associated with the special consideration process is listed for each assessment item below. Please refer to the University Special Consideration Regulations and Special Consideration Policies and Procedures documents for more information on the acceptable grounds for special consideration and the application process. Special Consideration for Tutorial and Projects An extension will be granted for evidence-supported requests. Extensions will typically be for up to one week, but the duration will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Students seeking an extension must contact the course coordinator as soon as possible with evidence of their situation, and preferably before the due date. Special Consideration for Midterm Tests Students will be offered an equivalent alternative test that will replace their original test mark. Special Consideration for Final Exam Students will be offered an equivalent alternative exam that will replace their original exam mark.

Note on equivalent alternative assessments: Alternative assessments are only available to students who have approved special consideration applications for the assessments at an appropriate severity level. The mark on the alternative assessments will replace the original mark in the course grade calculation unless the student declines the offer or otherwise does not sit the alternative assessment, in which case the original mark will be used. This means that your mark could decrease as a result of the alternative assessment. The alternative assessment for the exam will be held on-campus in the week of 8 July 2024. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are available for these dates if you want to benefit from the academic remedy for your special consideration. All communication associated with the arrangements of these alternative assessments will be conducted using official UC email accounts. The offer to sit an alternative assessment will come with a date and time during the resit week. Students will have a clearly specified amount of time to respond to the offer. Failure to respond will be interpreted as a declined offer. If a student has applied for special consideration but the application has not been approved when arrangements are being made for the alternative assessment, they may be permitted to sit the alternative assessment, but the mark will only be applied if the application is approved by the special considerations committee at an appropriate severity level.
