SUMMARY OF SFS FEEDBACK FROM LAST YEAR
Feedback on the subject is generally positive. Assessment guidelines are updated and clarified.
Policies, Procedures and Guidelines
The University has a comprehensive policy framework to which both staff and students must adhere. You should familiarise
yourself with those policies, procedures and guidelines likely to affect you especially the following:
Academic Integrity
Academic Progress
Assessment and Feedback
Extension to Submission Dates
Late Submission of Assessment Tasks

Student Charter
Use of Electronic Mail
The relevant policies, procedures and guidelines can be found on the website at: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/policy/
Academic Integrity
Academic integrity means being honest in academic work and taking responsibility for learning the conventions of scholarship.
La Trobe University views this seriously as evidenced by the following extract:
Academic honesty is a fundamental principle in teaching, learning, research and scholarship. The University
requires its academic staff and students to observe the highest ethical standards in all aspects of academic
work and it demonstrates its commitment to these values by awarding due credit for honestly conducted
scholarly work, and by penalising academic misconduct and all forms of cheating.
Academic Integrity Procedures (2012, p. 1 of 6)
Academic misconduct includes improper referencing, plagiarism, copying and cheating. You should familiarise yourself with
your responsibilities in relation to Academic Integrity and if you have any questions, direct them to your Course Coordinator.
Information can be found on the website at http://www.latrobe.edu.au/students/academic-integrity.
All hard copy assignments should be accompanied by the Academic Integrity Assignment Declaration Form available at:
http://www.latrobe.edu.au/policy/documents/Assignment-Declaration-Form.pdf
For assistance with referencing visit http://www.latrobe.edu.au/students/learning/academic-integrity/referencing-help
Special Consideration
Special Consideration is the term used to describe a process that applies an equity measure to ensure that where any temporary
adverse circumstances beyond the control of a student, that impact negatively on that student’s ability to demonstrate their
learning achievement for an assessment task, is taken into account.

Eligibility to apply for Special Consideration does not automatically imply eligibility to receive it. Certain criteria must be
satisfied in order to receive Special Consideration.
Please refer to the relevant policies, procedures and guidelines website at: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/policy/
Submission of special consideration applications for assignments, mid-semester tests and final examinations should be made
online at: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/special-consideration
Extensions, Late Submissions and Penalties
There are policies and procedures to guarantee fair, consistent and transparent treatment of late submission of assessment
tasks provide equity around extensions to submission dates and penalties associated with not submitting assessment by the due
date and time.
The University requires fair, consistent and transparent treatment of late submission of assessment tasks. The procedure for late
submission is documented in the Late Submission of Assessment Tasks document (Ref. no. 112027D). It states:
The standard penalty for late submission of assessment tasks is 5% of the marks for that task for each delay
in submission of a day or partial day up to a maximum of five (5) working days after the due date.
Assessment tasks will not be accepted after the earlier of the following occurrences:
The fifth (5th) working day after the due date; or
Feedback on the assessment task has been returned to any student by the Teaching Team member.
These penalties apply only to individual assessment tasks worth 15% or more of the total assessment for the
subject. Late submission of take home examinations is not permitted.
Submission of special consideration applications for assignments, mid-semester tests and final examinations should be
made online at: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/?a=668155.
Please refer to the relevant policies, procedures and guidelines website at: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/policy/
