Where there are valid reasons, the Associate Head <strong>of</strong> School may grant an extension for a<br />

period <strong>of</strong> no more than three weeks after the course end date. A longer than three weeks’<br />

extension may be recommended by the Associate Head <strong>of</strong> School to the Board <strong>of</strong> Studies'<br />

Achievement Sub-Committee for approval, where there are extenuating circumstances that<br />

justify a longer extension.<br />

Penalty for Unarranged Late Submission<br />

Where work has been handed in late without approval the work will still be marked but the<br />

student will receive a zero mark.<br />

Assessment Results Notification<br />

Course assessment and final grades are reported using the Grade Key 3 method. Grade<br />

Keys are explained in Appendix 2 <strong>of</strong> the Academic Regulations.<br />

Once your tutor has marked your assessments you will be notified <strong>of</strong> your result.<br />

• If the assessment is in the form <strong>of</strong> a practical in-class demonstration/observation, you are<br />

likely to get your results immediately or shortly after the assessment activity has concluded.<br />

• If the assessment is a supervised test you are able to review your work, but the<br />

assessment is collected and retained by WelTec.<br />

• If you hand in an assignment it is returned to you along with feedback to explain the<br />

reason(s) for the assessment result.<br />

• If you sit a final exam you are able to view your result online at the student results portal:<br />

https://results.weltec.ac.nz within 15 working days.<br />

Results for each assessment are available within 15 working days on WelTec's Student<br />

Results portal at: https://results.weltec.ac.nz.<br />

Use your normal WelTec login and password to access a number <strong>of</strong> items, such as your<br />

assessment results, current course enrolments, and other details.<br />

Challenging Assessment Decisions<br />

If you have reason to believe that the grade or mark for a particular assessment is incorrect,<br />

you should firstly discuss this with your tutor within five (5) working days <strong>of</strong> the return <strong>of</strong> the<br />

assessment.<br />

Your tutor will provide feedback to clarify why the grade or mark has been awarded and<br />

may, if justified, amend the result.<br />

If you still believe that the mark or grade is incorrect, you should discuss the matter with the<br />

Associate Head <strong>of</strong> School.<br />

For more information on Challenging Assessment Decisions please refer to the WelTec<br />

Academic Regulations 2013 - section 11.<br />

RISK MANAGEMENT, SAFETY AND HEALTH<br />

WelTec students share the responsibility <strong>of</strong> maintaining a safe and healthy working<br />

environment whether on campus or studying <strong>of</strong>f-site (See Student Code <strong>of</strong> Conduct, Section<br />

3.4).<br />

ATTENDANCE MATTERS<br />

An objective <strong>of</strong> study with WelTec is to prepare you for your career in industry. Your attitude,<br />

attendance and behaviour are important. Please give your best effort and ensure your<br />

behaviour and attendance reflect your desire to do well.<br />

You should therefore be present on time, fully equipped and, if applicable, dressed and<br />

groomed appropriately for practical sessions.<br />
