Assessment - Extensions
  1. Participants are expected to work on the assessment items throughout semester. Extensions will only be granted in exceptional circumstances. Early communication of problems is strongly advised. Participants should assess within the first few weeks of semester whether they have a reasonable likelihood of being able to complete the unit and should consider withdrawing by the census date if not keeping up.
  2. Extensions will not be granted for:
    1. Workload (e.g., study load and/or paid or voluntary work load) - such problems should be anticipated and withdrawal from the unit is recommended if workload is a problem.
    2. Technical problems (e.g., hard drive crashes, internet access problems, corrupted disks, viruses) - it is strongly recommended that you keep multiple and regular backups of lab report drafts, data, syntax, and output files.
    3. Undocumented issues.
  3. Extension requests should be submitted via email to the unit convener from your UC student email address and include:
    1. Your first and last name
    2. Which unit and assessment item(s) an extension is requested for
    3. Length of extension requested
    4. Reason for the extension request
    5. Attached documentary evidence which specifies the period of incapacity/disruption. Appropriate evidence could consist of:
      1. A medical certificate, including:
        1. Signed by a registered medical, dental, or health practitioner
        2. Registered provider number and provider’s contact details
        3. Duration of incapacity to study (must be during the study period prior to the due date)
        4. Date(s) of consultation
      2. A death notice or other appropriate documentation for bereavement.
