Q: Can I have an extension?The granting of extensions is not automatic: you need to provide evidence to support your request.
Please note that simply having another piece of assessment due at the same time or simply wanting more time to do a better job is not considered an adequate reason for an extension. You will find the link for applying for extensions under the School of Social Science Student Support gateway (see button at the top of the page) Q: How is the turn-it-in originality report used?

I know a few of you are new to the joys of on-line assignment submission. It's a double-edged sword - on one hand it's great not to have to come in and hand in the physical copy, but there's always that fear that the submission didn't go through, or that the process distorted your submission. So a couple of things to remind and reassure you: 1. For your own protection ALWAYS keep the copy of the turn-it-in receipt. If you didn't receive one try reloading it, or contact IT Help for assistance. 2. The process of submission often makes the version of the assignment that you see look distorted and even mangled. The version at my end will be fine. IF I think there is something odd going on or have any questions I will contact you. I can recognise the difference between someone who couldn't be bothered formatting an assignment and a weird looking IT error. 3. I found this short video EXTREMELY useful for understanding the turn-it-in process and helping to understand how it works. I encourage you all to watch it so you will feel more confident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqNwj8HSVKc |
Q: How and when do I get my final marks and paper back?Q: I've checked Blackboard and I can't see a mark for my final piece of assessment. Where is it and how do I get my work back?
A: The final piece of assessment is not released to students until the university has finalised all grades for the semester and released those to students. Once this occurs we can post the marks on Blackboard. If your final piece is an essay you can then access the feedback through the grade centre. (Exam papers are not released back to students). Q: I disagree with my grade. How do I ask for a re-mark?Click on the School of Social Science Student Support button above to go through to the website. There you will find the policies, processes and forms for asking for a re-mark. Please note, being dissatisfied with a grade is not enough to ensure a remark and approval by the school is not automatic. You will need to have grounds and make a case utilising the marking criteria.
