DEADLINES AND LATE SUBMISSIONS

Deadlines for essays and assignments, and set times for test taking and presentations, are strictly observed in Pacific Studies.  This policy is to ensure fairness amongst students, and to promote key learning skills such as preparation, planning and timeliness.

 

Coursework

All late work and missed tests and presentations will be subject to a penalty.  An extension of time or resit for a missed test/presentation will be given ONLY for illness or compassionate grounds. You must supply documentation (eg, doctor's certificate or letter from the counsellor).

Criteria for approval of late submission reflect the criteria for aegrotat and compassionate pass consideration in final examinations. You must apply for an extension of time before the due date either by emailing your request and reasons to your tutor.  Retrospective approval will be given only in exceptional circumstances.

You can apply for an aegrotat or compassionate consideration in coursework by completing and submitting an AS-46 .
