(If you require assistance submitting through Turnitin, you may lodge a OneHelp Ticket or refer to the IT help page.) You may make several submissions via Turnitin to check your work for plagiarism and make adjustments accordingly up until the due date. Please note that if you wish to resubmit your work after the due date, you will need to contact your teacher via email and attach a copy of your submission as a Word document. If you submit again after the due date your submission will be counted as a late submission and penalties will apply (see below). Please note that for a first time submission the similarity report will be available immediately but for any subsequent submissions it may take 24 hours for the similarity report to be generated in Turnitin. Please note that it is your responsibility to: • allow sufficient time for submission of your work and any uploading of documents so try to avoid submitting your work just prior to the deadline. • ensure that you make the correct submission and that your document can be viewed in Turnitin. Please also note that technical issues such as an internet outage or computer failure are not considered grounds for special consideration. For further details please check the Special Consideration Policy. LATE SUBMISSIONS Late submissions are possible but they will be penalised unless the student has been granted an approved extension (refer to the Special Consideration Policy). Late penalties will be calculated based on the marks allocated to the specific assessment task. The penalty for late submission is as follows: • 5% of the total possible marks will be deducted if it is late by up to 30 minutes • 10% of the total possible marks will be deducted if it is more than 30 minutes late and up to 24 hours late Page 3 of 5 • A further 10% of the total possible marks will be deducted for each 24-hour period up to 3 days (including weekends) • 100% of the marks will be deducted after 3 days and zero marks will be awarded Please note that online submissions are electronically tracked, and the electronic record of submission will be used to determine late penalties. This means that submitting your work even a few seconds after the allocated deadline will result in a late submission which will attract the penalty noted above. There is no flexibility with the applying of penalties as they must be applied fairly and consistently to all students.
