Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
Late Policy for this unit
Resubmission
This unit has substantial opportunities for feedback and self-assessment, and so students who have fully participated in the unit activities are unlikely to fail. In some cases, resubmission of a failed assignment will be possible if the assessment item can feasibly be brought up to a pass level. A typical example might be an assignment that fails due to a missing component that can readily be supplied in a resubmission. The maximum grade for a resubmitted assessment item is 50%. Resubmissions are given at the discretion of the unit convenor, and must be applied for in writing (via email) within one week of the assessment grade being released.
Extensions
All extensions must be applied for in writing to the unit convenor no less than three days before the due date of the assignment, and preferably well before this. Extension requests should state the reason the extension is being requested (unless the basis for extension is part of adjustment advice from inclusion and welfare), and provide a proposed submission date. Students should not assume an extension will be automatically granted.
Late Penalties
In this unit, we encourage you to be proactive about your work, to recognise early if you are not going to be able to meet a deadline, and to negotiate an extension if necessary. This is a more authentic, industry standard, approach to dealing with deadlines. For the most up-to-date late penalty guidelines, please check the latest UC Assessment Policy.
Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
UC students have to complete the annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and ¶¶ÒõPorn (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
Inclusion and engagement
Students with Reasonable Adjustment Plans seeking extensions must apply for the extension ON or BEFORE the due date - not after. Students should not expect extensions to be automatically accepted, it is important to keep in regular contact with your tutor and convenor regarding expected submission dates.
Participation requirements
It is essential for students to attend tutorials every week, to keep up with the weekly tasks and assessment requirements and expectations. Students are also expected to check their UC student email and Canvas site for the unit every day for any updates or announcements.
Required IT skills
Knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign). Whilst the unit will go through a series of tutorials to improve the students' technical skills with these programs, it is highly recommended the student spend some time familiarising themselves with the software beforehand.
