Purpose:

To ensure consistent application of penalties for the late submission of assessments in cases where no extension has been granted.

Scope:

This policy applies to all AUT students enrolled in coursework awards.

Statement:

The University is committed to the equitable treatment of students in relation to assessment. When students submit assessment exercises after the due date without authorisation, AUT will ensure fairness to students through consistent measures applied as late penalties. Students may apply for an extension of the time allowed for completion of an assessment task. This policy outlines the processes for applying for extensions. Late Penalties apply to assessment exercises submitted after the due date without an extension, or submitted after a revised due date without authorisation.
