ASSESSMENT INFORMATION PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY
The following summary outlines some of the most important information regarding the assessment of your courses. Refer to the student programme handbook or Admissions and Enrolments if you require more details.
1 Tests and Examinations / KWhakamtautau
Tests and examinations must be sat on the day and time prescribed in the course outline. If you do not sit tests and examinations at these times a blank mark will be recorded. The only exceptions are:
(a) Sitting Tests or Final Examinations at an Alternative Time Application to sit a test or an examination at a different day/ time will only be considered in exceptional circumstances (vacations are not considered exceptional circumstances), and must be received by the Department on the prescribed application form within 7 working days of the scheduled assessment/exam date. For security reasons, the time arranged will be as close as possible to the time prescribed in the course outline. Application forms are available from The Department Support Administrator, Record Office X111 or Admissions and Enrolments.
(b) Applying for an Aegrotat/Impaired Performance There are two situations where an aegrotat application may be considered:
(i) You have been prevented from sitting a test or examination due to illness, injury, personal bereavement or other exceptional circumstances; or
(ii) You have sat a test or examination and believe that your performance has been seriously impaired
Please note that the likelihood of impairment is not, in itself, considered adequate grounds for absence from a test or examination. You must sit the test or examination for which the aegrotat will apply, if at all possible. Special facilities can be provided for candidates who are unable to sit the test or examination under normal conditions.

AMOM632 NZDB632 Course Outline Sem 1 2014.docx 24/02/2014 Page 8 CPIT For your application to be accepted, you must prove that the circumstances which gave rise to the application were beyond your control and were not related to the assessment (especially in the case of a stress related illness).
Notification of the intent to apply for an Aegrotat/Impaired Performance must be made to the Department within 24 hours of the assessment. The Aegrotat/Impaired Performance application must be made on the prescribed form and returned within seven calendar days of the original assessment date. Application forms are available from The Department Support Administrator, Record Office X111 or Admissions and Enrolments.

Assignments must be submitted by the due date and time prescribed in the course outline. The instructions for submitting assignments will be described on each assignment. A signed assignment cover slip must accompany all material submitted. (Available near the Department assignment drop box). You should retain a copy of all assignments until final grades are released.
If you do not submit an assignment by the due date and time indicated, you will be penalised by 10% of the mark awarded for each period of 24 hours or part thereof commencing from the due date and time. The only exception is where an application for an extension has been accepted by the course convenor.
Extensions to Due Dates An application form is available from your Department Support Administrator or Records X111. and must be completed with supporting evidence and submitted to the course convenor in advance of the due date and time. An extension is at the discretion of the course convenor.
3 Dishonest Practice and Breach of Instructions (including Plagiarism) / TeMahiTinihaka)
Unfortunately, every semester there are incidences of dishonesty or breaches of instructions in assessment activities. These are most common in assignment work. To help you avoid these situations, please note the following:
The conditions under which a particular assessment is submitted are stated when the assignment is issued. When you submit your assignment you must sign a statement on the assignment coversheet confirming that you have met the assignment conditions. It is important to remember that when an assessment is stated as an individual assignment, there can be no part of it that is the same as the work of another student, this semester or in the past.
