What are the legitimate reasons for missing an assessment and how do I apply for these?
There are reasonable accommodations in place to ensure that students who have legitimate reasons for missing standard sittings/submissions are accommodated with reasonable opportunities to complete assessments.
The typical legitimate reasons and the evidence required for applications for deferred opportunities include:
Applications for these deferred sittings/submissions must be made via the Student Hub either before, or within five working days of the missed standard sitting/submission and are granted at the discretion of the Office of the Registrar. If a student does not apply for a deferred sitting/submission on time with the required evidence or is denied the deferred sitting, the student’s record will reflect “absent”, and the student will effectively receive 0% for the missed assessment.
For further information regarding missing an assessment, please refer to Principle 4.6 of the PDIIE009: ASSESSMENT CRITERIA, MINIMUM STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES Policy document.
