|---|---|
| Scope |
|
| Policy Statement | The Faculty of Arts recognises that the management of deadlines is an important aspect of learning and teaching. A student can apply to the unit coordinator for a 2 day extension for short-term illness, unforeseen employment obligations or family circumstances which would not require any documentation. Approval of the application is at the discretion of the unit coordinator. Please note: For extensions of 3 or more days, or for sudden illness and unforeseen circumstances affecting final pieces of assessment or exams, Special Consideration should be sought. Students suffering from chronic illness or long-term disability are eligible for alternative assessment arrangements which can be arranged by registering with the University's Disability Liaison Unit |
