► It
is important to note that extension requests must be submitted
BEFORE the assignment due date.
► Do not ask your lecturer for an extension.
Extension Process
- Extension Request form to be submitted before or on the assignment due date.
- Upload evidence to support your application and advise reason for extension.
- Student and lecturer are notified of the decision. Please note if you do not put your lecturers email address in correctly, they will not be notified of the extension.
- If approved, no marks will be deducted.
- If not approved late penalty applies as per below:
-
The percentage penalty is applied to the total grade possible for the assignment (e.g. an assignment that is graded at 70/100 but is 5 days late attracts a 10% penalty, therefore 70 – 10 = 60% becomes the final grade).
| Number of days late | Penalty as % of total possible grade | Marks deducted |
|---|---|---|
| 1-3 | 5% | -5 |
| 4-7 | 10% | -10 |
| 8-14 | 20% | -20 |
| 15 or more | Not Marked | Refer to Head of Program |
If you have any questions about this process then please contact your faculty administrator who will be happy to help.
