Assessment

Edit Assessments Content

Late Assessment process

You are advised to submit all your work on time.

If you have a genuine reason for needing an extension for any compulsory paper assessment, you must get permission from Dassia or Melanie before the due date. It is your responsibility to make sure your extension has been recorded and permission granted.Late assignments from students whose names are not recorded will be penalised 2 per cent per working day that the assignment is late, up to maximum of 10 per cent.

Special Consideration Process

Special consideration maybe given for missed or impaired assessment.This may be due to illness, a death, or personal problems which may have affected your performance.For all Waikato Pathways College assessed programmes, students must discuss this with their tutors in the first instance.

Applications for special consideration in respect of internal assessment are considered and decided by the examiner of the paper and must be made in writing with supporting evidence not later than three days after the date on which the assessment was due.

* These rules are here but we are very approachable and suggest you contact us as soon as any issue arises.
