You will be allowed to resubmit a maximum of 2 times for the whole course. What does this mean?

For example, if you need to resubmit one of your Integrated Assignment Stages and one of your weekly labs, you will not be entitled to any further resubmissions for the rest of the course.

Please read all of the information handed carefully and ask lots of questions if you are unsure.

You must make a reasonable attempt on each submission to be granted a resubmission attempt.

What constitutes a reasonable attempt?

A reasonable attempt would be attempting to answer all of the questions asked of you to the best of your ability.

Leaving large sections of your work blank, or not submitting sections does not show your teacher you have enough of an understanding of the assessment to be deemed competent.

This indicates to your teacher that you didn’t seek out your teacher for help, or that you did not understand the work.

Please note, in the event you are eligible for a resubmission, a new due date will be provided to you. Please check your feedback carefully as missing this deadline will leave you with your original mark.
