The form is available from the Student Portal under Students / Forms. ) Applications for Special Consideration will be accepted on medical, compassionate, and/or trauma grounds. Supporting evidence, clearly stating specific reason, must be given with the application. Reasons such as headaches, colds or returning home, will not be accepted as grounds for Special Consideration. Students are required to complete a Special Consideration/Deferred Exam Application available from the Student Portal under Students / Forms and submit to MIBT Reception, together with supporting documentation before the assessment is due, or within 2 working days of completing the assessment. Academic misconduct The Academic Integrity and Plagiarism and Collusion Policies are available on the Student Portal under Students / Forms / MIBT Policies and Procedures. Students should make themselves familiar with the content of these policies. Plagiarism and collusion are academic offences. They are forms of cheating and severe penalties are associated with them. If a student is caught plagiarising they may be failed in that piece of assessment. ? Plagiarism occurs when a student passes off as their own another student’s work, or copies without acknowledgement of its authorship, the work of any other person. Collusion occurs when a student obtains the agreement of another person for a fraudulent purpose with the intent of obtaining an advantage in submitting an assignment or other work. ? Submitting your own work when it has been previousl y submitted for another unit or course. Whenever you refer to another person’s research or ideas (whether by directly quoting or by paraphrasing them) you MUST acknowledge the source. Also, copying paragraphs from the Internet and presenting them as your own work is plagiarism. If you download and copy paragraphs from the Internet you must identify the source. References / acknowledgement of authorship (including electronic resources). You MUST acknowledge the sources that you have drawn on. This is a necessary courtesy to the original authors, and also allows the readers of your work to follow up any points you have raised. If you directly copy another writer’s phrase, sentence or paragraph, then you should use quotation marks and note the source of the quote. If you use another writer’s ideas, but not his or her exact words, you should again note the source. There are a number of ways by which you can refer to other people’s work.

L:Academic – Unit Outlines2013-01 Diploma of Commerce MMK277 V27– 02/13 Page 7 For an essay the reference list should include full citations of all sources consulted for the essay and these sources should appear in the body of the essay EG. (Thwaites, 2012 ) wherever a reference to someone’s work is made, instead of footnotes. This referencing method, like all methods, involves noting the author’s name, the title of the article and journal, or book, the year of publication, the journal’s volume number, the book publisher’s name and location, and the relevant page numbers. A copy of Guide to Assignment Writing and Referencing is available to every student during Orientation. It is also available on the Deakin University website: http://deakin. du. au/currentstudents/assets/resources/study-support/study-skills/assign-ref. pdf Assignment submission Assignments must be submitted by the due date. Students should complete the Assignment Cover Sheet (available from the Student Portal under Students / Forms), attach it to their assignment an d then submit the completed assignment as outlined in the assignment details. (Assignments will not be accepted at MIBT Reception). Students must keep a copy of each assignment submitted and must be able to produce the copy in the unlikely event that the original assignment is misplaced. Students must maintain backup copies of all their assignment work. Electronic loss of data is common, but is NOT a satisfactory excuse for an extension of a submission date. Late submission of assignments Extension of an assignment submission date If there is a compelling reason why you are unable to complete your assignment before the due date you should complete a Request for Extension of Assignment Due Date form, available from the Student Portal under Students / Forms and submit it to your lecturer. This must be done at least 24 hours before the assignment due date. If you submit your assignment without an approved extension, penalties for late submission will apply. The only exception to this is if your work is late for medical reasons and you have a doctor’s certificate to support your claim. You will not need to seek the prior approval of your lecturer but you must attach the doctor’s certificate to your assignment with a note that the work is late for medical reasons. Under these circumstances, the medical certificate must cover the entire period from the time the assignment was due until the time it is submitted. Penalties for late submissions Assignments received late and without prior approval will be penalised. A penalty of 10% of the available marks will be deducted for every day the assignment is late. Assignments received after 7 days without an approved extension, will not be marked. Learning support Students have access to group-oriented and individual learning support at MIBT. During each trimester, students can attend a series of study skills workshops conducted both at MIBT and Deakin University on topics such as time management, avoiding plagiarism, referencing, academic writing, critical thinking and exam preparation. The MIBT Study Skills Drop-in Centre provides students with one-to-one consultations with the Academic Skills Advisor. Students can also access the Deakin University Language and Learning Drop-in Centre at Student Life. For flexible learning, all students have access to the Academic Skills Moodle site which contains a number of resources to improve students’ study skills and language proficiency.

The form is retained by the lecturer who submits this with the class list.

Students are to complete an Explained Absence Form from reception or from the Student Portal under Students / Forms and submit to reception.
