Refer to each subjects' moodle site for details on assessment requirements and submission.
Student Grievance Process
For information about dealing with a grievance concerning assessable work or any other type of decision or action of a staff member, see the University’s policy for dealing with student grievances. You can also contact a Student Support Coordinator (SSC) via ssa-eis@uow.edu.au.
Use of Calculators in Examinations
The normal School Policy is that only the calculators approved by the Board of Studies are approved for use in examinations.

Academic Consideration
Academic Consideration is intended to help minimise the impact of compassionate, compelling or extenuating circumstances beyond a student’s control, which significantly impair a student’s ability to complete an assessment task on or by the due date as stipulated in the Subject Outline; or which affects Academic Progress in a subject relevant to their course of study.
