Late Assessment Submission Tips

With the take home exams and assessment submissions coming through this time of year, it is best to be acquainted with the policies and procedures regarding assessments.

The ANU Student Assessment (Coursework) Policy is often quoted, but not included in your course outlines. We want to make sure that the submission of your assessments causes minimal stress and part of that involves knowing the guidelines for late assessment submissions.
