Hello All

As it is week 11 and you will no doubt be needing to submit assessments and perform practical assessments in the next few weeks, I just want to remind you of the APAC Late Assessment Policy which can be found in the Student handbook on page 20.

PLEASE NOTE: 

If you unable to meet your assessment deadline, you MUST request an extension no less than 24 hours BEFORE your published assessment deadline (due date), using the extension request form, if you have a valid reason. Spoken words or email are not enough, it needs to be in writing.  

There are academic penalties for late assessment submissions students will receive a 5% decrease in their mark for every day a non-practical/performance assessment is late. If a student does not show up for a Practical/Performance, Rehearsal, or Presentation assessment, they will be automatically awarded a fail.

So now you know! Don’t leave it to the last minute to do your assessment.    

Extension up to 7 days can be approved by your Lecturer. 

The completed Extension Request form needs to be emailed to your Lecturer.  

If you are requesting an extension period longer than 7 days, approval must be from your HoD or the DoHE. 

Please email the completed Extension Request form either your HoD or the DoHE 

Please click here to get a copy of the extension form  (found in Moodle Academic Support section and in student handbook).

Best wishes for your assessments.

The APAC TEAM
