be noted as they apply to the assessments for that course.
Format Of Assessments
Please see your course outline which will be given to you on your first day by your tutor. Do
not lose this document as it will give you your schedule for when assignments are due and
what is expected of you in each of your assignments.
Theory Assessment
The theory taught along with the practical work will usually be combined and you will learn
theory as you work through the practical work. This will be outlined in your course outline
given to you on the first day by your tutor.
Assessment Cover Sheets
A Student Assessment Cover Sheet must be attached to all assessments handed/posted in.
If you’re on campus you can find this form on the Student Intranet:

Submitting Assessment And Assignment Work
It is essential that you meet the assessment submission deadlines notified in your Course
Outlines' assessment schedules - unless you have pre-arranged for a late submission with
your tutor. Please refer to your course outlines for any penalties for late submission of
assessments.
Some assessments may have time-related criteria attached to them. Your course outline will
notify you of these particular assessments, and the reasons for the time criteria. Lateness,
absence or early departure from these assessments may carry specific penalties.
The Assignment Box is cleared twice daily – morning: 9 am and afternoon: 4:30 pm.
Arranging for Late Submission Of Assessments
In case of illness, injury or exceptional circumstances you may request to make a
submission after the assessment due date by submitting a Request for Late Submission
Form prior to the due date. On receiving your Request, your tutor may negotiate a new
submission date/time. Where work has been handed in late without approval, late
assessment submission provisions will apply.
Applying For An Extension Beyond The Course End Date
If you are prevented by illness, injury or exceptional circumstances from completing an
assessment by the course end date, you may apply to the Associate Head of School for an
extension to complete the assessment, provided this is not covered by the aegrotat
regulations.
The application is to be made in writing as soon as possible and not later than 48 hours
before the assessment due time and date. The application is made on the WelTec Course
Extension Form available from the Student Information Centre and the WelTec website.
