Submission of assessment items

Please remember to retain your own copy of assignments in case of problems with mailing.

Methods of submission for assessment items are outlined below for Assignments 2 and 3 - Assignment 1 is submitted directly via your online Journal.

Email (the preferred option)

• Save your document as an 'RTF' (or 'Interchange') file. Most wordprocessing programs allow this format as an option under 'save as'.

• email the assignment as an attachment to Access Services - accservices@cdu.edu.au. Include in the body of your message the following information (this will be printed this as your assignment cover sheet):

  • Your student number:

  • Unit number:

  • Unit name:

  • Assignment topic:
    

• You do not need to also send a printed copy in the mail, but be sure to retain your own copy
  
• Access Services will acknowledge receipt of your emailed assignment
  
• I will return your assignment directly to you, with a copy to Access Services for administrative purposes.

Mail

postal submission should go to:

• Access Services
  Charles Darwin University

Personal delivery

• hand delivery to the assignment box which is located in the wall of the southern end of Building 24 (on the side facing the Business Faculty)

Extensions and late submission

The final review of your Environmental Management Plan involves professionals working outside the University. Therefore it is essential that you plan to meet the assessment deadlines. No extensions will be granted for the final assignment, except in circumstances of illness or other events beyond your control.

• Up to 1 week
  Contact Access Services for assignment extensions of up to 1 week. An assignment extension request form can be obtained from Access Services.

• More than 1 week
  Longer extensions are not available except in exceptional circumstances. Please contact your lecturer.

Resubmission

In a situation where your work is assessed as being close to a pass grade, but that standard has not quite been reached, the opportunity to re-submit may be offered to you by the lecturer.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the unacknowledged use of material written by others or a rework of your own material. All sources of information and ideas used in assignments must be referenced (see Study Buddy CD for information on referencing). This applies whether the information is from a book, journal article, the internet, or a previous essay you wrote or the assignment of a friend.

Plagiarism will result in an automatic fail and you may be subject to disciplinary action by the University.
