Coursework, assignments and exams
As a postgraduate student you may be required to complete and submit assignments and sit examinations. The lecturer for each of your coursework papers is your first point of contact to answer any specific questions about assignments and exams.
You also have access to various other people, systems and services to help you develop the knowledge and skills you need to excel at assignments and exams. The following links will take you to other areas of the website.
At some point in your study, because of exceptional circumstances, you may not be able to submit an assignment on time or sit an exam at the scheduled time. If this happens, it is important that you contact your lecturer and/or programme administrator and let them know as soon as possible. For assignments, this should be before the due date, and for exams within 14 days of the date of the examination.
Information about what to do in this situation, and the form you will need to complete, can be found on AUTonline or in your programme or faculty handbook.
If you don’t have a valid reason for missing the due date, or have not notified the teaching department within the required time, you will receive a failing grade for your assignment or examination.
It is also a good idea to talk to your faculty for assistance. See faculty contacts.
