Resubmission
If you do not achieve a Satisfactory result for a task you will be given the opportunity to be re-assessed and/or to provide additional evidence. You can be given multiple opportunities to resubmit or undertake an assessment task. The number of attempts will be limited by department resources and the end date of the unit/module. Arrangements will be made on an individual basis to ensure the process is valid, fair and reliable.
Assessment appeals
If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your assessment, discuss your concerns with the teacher/assessor and/or program leader. If the issue is not resolved, you may appeal the decision(s) by following the Complaints and Appeals process as outlined on the Learner Portal.
Reasonable adjustment
If you have a disability or long-term medical or mental health condition you may be able to register with Accessibility Support Services to develop a Support Plan and access appropriate academic support.
You may also speak with teaching staff about other circumstances impacting your capacity to complete an evidence-based assessment and seek a reasonable adjustment. It is important to ensure the integrity of the assessment is maintained and the intent is not compromised. Reasonable adjustment may include but is not limited to extra time or extensions for assessments, an alternate assessment task, note-taking support or varying the venue.
Safety
If for any reason you feel unsafe, you can stop participating in the assessment and inform your Assessor.
If at any time during the assessment process the Assessor considers that the safety of any person or property is at risk, they will stop the assessment immediately.
