Overall Programme procedures are given below. There may also be coursespecific assessment procedures and requirements noted in your Course Outlines.Please note that all activities that contribute towards your final course grades, and thereforeyour qualification completion, are known as assessments (summative assessments to beprecise). There are many different types <strong>of</strong> assessment activities your tutors use in yourcourses.The WelTec Academic Regulations section 7 require that you:make yourself available to undertake all summative assessment items at the timeand place stipulated by the teaching staff responsible for the courseact with integrity (honesty) during assessments. You are expected to:o Submit material that is your own original worko Collaborate only as permittedo Acknowledge contributions from other sources by using APA reference format(failure to do this correctly may be regarded as plagiarism)o Keep written and electronic work secure to prevent others from accessing andcopying worko Understand the definition <strong>of</strong> academic dishonesty and the consequences <strong>of</strong>breaching the regulations (see Academic Regulations S12 Dishonest Practice).WelTec conducts assessments within rules set out in the following regulations and policies: The Academic Regulations 2013o Examination Ruleso Aegrotat regulationso Gradeso Resultso Challenging Assessment Decisionso Dishonest Practice in Assessment<strong>Wellington</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Technology</strong> - 2013 HV4177 Programme Handbook February 2013Overview and Programme Specific Information Page 11

Use instructions 1-3 above to print the cover sheet.Submitting Assessment And Assignment WorkIt is essential that you meet the assessment submission deadlines notified in your CourseOutlines' assessment schedules - unless you have pre-arranged for a late submission withyour tutor. Please refer to your course outlines for any penalties for late submission <strong>of</strong>assessments.Some assessments may have time-related criteria attached to them. Your course outline willnotify you <strong>of</strong> these particular assessments, and the reasons for the time criteria. Lateness,absence or early departure from these assessments may carry specific penalties.<strong>Wellington</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Technology</strong> - 2013 HV4177 Programme Handbook February 2013Overview and Programme Specific Information Page 12


Arranging for Late Submission Of AssessmentsIn case <strong>of</strong> illness, injury or exceptional circumstances you may request to make asubmission after the assessment due date by submitting a Request for Late SubmissionForm prior to the due date. On receiving your Request, your tutor may negotiate a newsubmission date/time. Where work has been handed in late without approval, lateassessment submission provisions will apply.Applying For An Extension Beyond The Course End DateIf you are prevented by illness, injury or exceptional circumstances from completing anassessment by the course end date, you may apply to the Associate Head <strong>of</strong> School for anextension to complete the assessment.The application is to be made in writing as soon as possible and not later than 48 hoursbefore the assessment due time and date. The application is made on the WelTec CourseExtension Form available from the Student Information Centre and the WelTec website.Where there are valid reasons, the Associate Head <strong>of</strong> School may grant an extension for aperiod <strong>of</strong> no more than three weeks after the course end date. A longer than three weeks’extension may be recommended by the Associate Head <strong>of</strong> School to the Board <strong>of</strong> Studies'Achievement Sub-Committee for approval, where there are extenuating circumstances thatjustify a longer extension.Penalty for Unarranged Late SubmissionThere will be no late submissions without an agreed arrangement.Absence From Supervised AssessmentsArriving at timetabled Assessments more than 30 minutes late may result in your nonadmittance,causing you to forfeit a submission attempt.Students who fail to attend a scheduled assessment without reasonable excuse ornotification will be marked absent and will be deemed to have had the opportunity to sit anassessment.Students unable to attend a scheduled assessment due to sickness or other valid reasonsmay complete the assessment on the first available re-sit date.Reassessment Of AssessmentsStudents who do not meet the expected level <strong>of</strong> competence at the first assessment will be<strong>of</strong>fered one reassessment. Students will complete a range <strong>of</strong> practical projects each <strong>of</strong> whichmay cover several performance criteria from several unit standards; these projects will berecorded and then marked <strong>of</strong>f against the relevant unit standard assessment plan.However, one further opportunity may be <strong>of</strong>fered at the discretion <strong>of</strong> the tutor in charge <strong>of</strong>the course or assessment. (Note a fee may apply.) The discretionary privilege will begranted where the student has undertaken remedial work needed to achieve competenceand in the judgement <strong>of</strong> the tutor has a good chance <strong>of</strong> success in that assessment. Anyfurther requests for reassessment must be submitted in writing to the Asssociate Head <strong>of</strong>School for approval.In the event that a reassessment is declined by the tutor in charge <strong>of</strong> the course orassessment, the student may apply for a review <strong>of</strong> the decision by the Associate Head <strong>of</strong>School.Assessment Results NotificationCourse assessment and final grades are reported using the Grade Key 1 method. GradeKeys are explained in Appendix 2 <strong>of</strong> the Academic Regulations.Once your tutor has marked your assessments you will be notified <strong>of</strong> your result.<strong>Wellington</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Technology</strong> - 2013 HV4177 Programme Handbook February 2013Overview and Programme Specific Information Page 13
