Plagiarism will result in an immediate Not yet Competent – all copied material MUST be referenced accordingly. See you Student Handbook for more information.
Reassessment
If you receive a Not Yet Satisfactory result for this Assessment Task, it will be due to you not satisfying the requirements of one, multiple or all aspects of the task. Your Assessor will provide you with feedback as to where you did not meet the requirement. You will have another opportunity to resubmit your assessment work addressing the areas as identified in your assessor feedback.
Should the student wish to appeal any decision relating to outcome of this assessment task, the student should follow the Academic-Non Academic Grievance policy and procedure available in the Student Handbook and Skills Training Australia website.
Assessment Extension Request:
All assessments are due on the assessment due date as identified on the assessment task document and confirmed by your Trainer/Assessor on the first day of the unit.
If you are unable, due to exceptional circumstances, to submit your assessment tasks on the required due date, you MUST submit a completed Assessment Extension Form to your Trainer/Assessor.
Extensions may be granted by your trainer under exceptional circumstances and will only be granted for a maximum of 2 weeks.
Adjustment in assessment
Flexibility in assessment will be considered where the integrity of the assessment and learning outcome is maintained. For example, a written assessment may be administered as a verbal assessment and recorded by a STA staff member where a student has sustained an injury preventing them from writing. Any agreement for an adjustment to assessment must be documented in the space provided in the assessment task document (or in writing to the program manager in the event of an electronically submitted assessment task and placed in your student file)
