Electrotechnology Programmes

Schedule of Assessment

You are advised of the specific assessment requirements at the start of each course.

Conduct During Assessments

During your study, you are expected to observe and comply with the Academic Statute and all programme regulations. Plagiarism or cheating is not tolerated. Academic dishonesty includes:

Copying from or inappropriate communicating with another person during an exam or assessment

Possessing any unauthorised material during an exam or assessment

Submitting any work for assessment that is not your own and whose author has not been acknowledged

Copying another’s work

Collaborating with others in the preparation of material, except where this is an assessment requirement

Resubmitting work without prior written approval of the lecturer

Turnitin, or a similar programme, may be used to determine whether you have committed academic dishonesty. Also, see Conduct of Examinations and Assessments Procedure. Part VIII of the Academic Statute outlines the disciplinary proceedings that apply should you breach these rules.

Extensions

Extensions for an assessment can only be granted prior to the assessment due date in exceptional circumstances. These circumstances may include:

Sickness – in which case a medical certificate must be presented to the lecturer.

Bereavement – in which case the lecturer must be informed as soon as possible.

Extenuating circumstances – these circumstances must be explained to the lecturer and proof may be required.

An application for an extension must be submitted to your lecturer in writing using the Appendix 2 – Request for Extension form at the back of this handbook. It can also be made in electronic form via email which must include all the information required by the form. You will receive notification of the outcome once your lecturer has reached a decision. Extensions will be for seven (7) days only unless stated otherwise. Where an extension has been granted, and the extension deadline has been met, no penalties will apply. Your assessment will be marked and feedback provided in the same way as if the assessment was submitted on the original date and time.

Penalties for Late Submissions – NZ Diploma in Engineering

In the event of a student being unable to attend or hand in an assessment, a medical (or comparable) certificate is required. Students who do not attend, or hand in an assessment by the scheduled assessment time and who do not offer such a certificate will be deemed to have voluntarily missed the assessment. Generally, this will mean that these students will have only one more opportunity to be assessed for a result in that particular assessment.

In this case the maximum possible mark that can be awarded will reduce in a linear way by 20% per day. The due dates and times for assessable work to be submitted should be set by lecturers as a Monday at 5 pm, so that submission later than 5 pm on the following Friday will have zero mark value.

Penalties for Late Submissions – NZ Certificate in Electrical Engineering (Theory)

In the event of you being unable to attend or hand in an assessment, a medical (or comparable) certificate is required. If you do not attend, or hand in an assessment by the scheduled assessment time and do not offer such a certificate you will be deemed to have voluntarily missed the assessment. Generally, this will mean that you will have only one more opportunity to be assessed for a result in that particular assessment. The following conditions apply to all late submissions of assignment material that does not have an approved extension:

All assessment work received after the due date and time, and not subject to a lecturer-approved extension, will attract a penalty.

The penalty for late submission is relegation to a single opportunity to successfully achieve in the assessment in question. Generally, this opportunity must be taken at the same time as others who are scheduled to complete their one resit entitlement, ie, after their unsuccessful attempt at the same assessment.

Any late submitted (first submission) assessment task will be returned unmarked prior to the student resubmitting on the remaining single opportunity.

The single opportunity to successfully achieve will only be granted if it can be determined there will be no advantage to you submitting the late assessment or disadvantage to students who have submitted the work on time.

If you do not undertake the assessment on the reassigned due date and time, and/or doe not complete the assessment successfully, there will usually be no further resit opportunities and a ‘Not Achieved’ result will be entered for the assessment.

Reconsideration of Results

If you believe that your assessment has been incorrectly assessed, you can apply to your lecturer for a reconsideration of result within five (5) days of the return of the assessment. You must apply in writing using the Appendix 3 – Request for Reconsideration of Result form at the back of this handbook. You may be charged a fee for this process.

Your result may be unchanged, raised or lowered following reconsideration. The reconsidered result will be recorded as the final result. However, you still have the right to appeal this result in accordance with the Academic Statute.

Page 29 of 35 Faculty of Engineering and Applied Technologies – Student Handbook 2018

Electrotechnology Programmes

Resubmits and Resits

An application for a resubmit or resit must be submitted to your lecturer in writing using the Appendix 4 – Request for Resubmit/Resit form at the back of this handbook. It can also be made in electronic form via email which must include all the information required by the form. You may be charged a fee for this process.

Special Passes – only applicable to the NZ Diploma in Engineering (Electrical Engineering strand) Level 6 programme

If through illness, accident, bereavement or other exceptional circumstances beyond your control, you are unable to complete an assessment or programme, you can apply for a Special Pass. The four types of Special Passes are:

Aegrotat Pass: awarded when you are unable to present work for assessment at the time it is due, you are unable to attend a test or examination, or your performance is seriously impaired in a test or examination.

Conceded Pass: awarded when you have otherwise reached an acceptable standard in the programme but have narrowly failed one course, thus affecting your ability to complete the qualification.

Conditional Pass: awarded when you have marginally failed to meet the required academic standard but in all other aspects have demonstrated an ability to meet it.

Restricted Pass: awarded when you have marginally failed to meet the required academic standard for the course and, if awarded, does not qualify you to enrol in a subsequent course/programme for which a pass in the original course is a pre-requisite.

If you are interested in requesting a Special Pass, contact your lecturer. Programme curriculum regulations and other conditions may apply.

Academic Appeals

The academic appeals process is outlined in Part IX of the Academic Statute.

Inability to Meet Programme Requirements

Under certain circumstances, an individual study contract may be drawn up to encourage you to meet programme requirements. Any failure to meet this contract may result in you being asked to leave the programme. If you have a serious health problem or other personal circumstances that impact on your ability to meet programme requirements, please inform your Lecturer. Remember, if you are having difficulties with your programme there are ways UCOL can help you. If you do decide to withdraw, you must complete a Change of Circumstances Form. These can be obtained from the Information Centre.
