Submission of Written Work

Essays and assignments must be submitted in the departmental assessment boxes located at the School office on Level 3, Lobby H, in the Main Quadrangle. Students may not hand essays or assignments directly to their lecturer or tutor. Online submission of essays and assignments through WebCT is available in some units of study.

A completed and signed cover sheet must be attached to the front of all written work submitted through the School office. Written work will not be marked if the plagiarism policy compliance statement on the cover sheet is unsigned. All incoming essays and assignments are date stamped. Assessment boxes are cleared for the day at 4.00pm. Work submitted after 4.00pm will be date stamped as the next working day.

Students submitting work through WebCT must read and accept the plagiarism policy compliance statement for their work to be submitted.

Students are advised to retain a copy of all written work submitted.

Special arrangements

Special Arrangements may be made available to any student enrolled in a Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences unit of study, who is unable to meet assessment requirements or attend examinations, because of one or more of the following situations:

• essential religious commitments or essential beliefs (including cultural and ceremonial commitments);
• compulsory legal absence (e.g. jury duty, court summons etc)
• sporting or cultural commitments, including political/union commitments, where the student is representing the University, state or nation;
• birth or adoption of a child; and
• Australian defence force or emergency service commitments (including Army Reserve) and
• where the Faculty can form the view that employment of an essential nature to the student would be jeopardise and that the student has little or no discretion with respect to the employment demand

Special arrangements for assessment or examination may include:

• alternative dates for submission of assessments;
• provision of alternative assessment tasks; and
• alternative examination times/arrangements
