Penalties
The School of Computer Science and Software Engineering has
adopted a policy on minimum penalties for late items of
assessment. This is the default policy of all units unless
indicated otherwise, in writing, by the specific unit
coordinator.
This policy shall apply to all items of continuous assessment,
whether submitted either physically or electronically.
Immediately after the submission deadline for an item of
continuous assessment, a penalty of 20 percent will be applied
PER DAY or PART THEREOF. The minimum mark possible for late
submission is zero. The percentage is based on the item´s
total contribution to the unit´s assessment. For example, a
project contributing 40% to the unit´s assessment will
incur a penalty of 8 marks for each day late until it is
submitted or a mark of zero results.
A more detailed description is given in this School´s
Policy on
Late Submission. The Faculty does have an appeals procedure,
the details of which can found at the Policy
for Appeals.

Academic Conduct Essentials (ACE)All students who have not previously been enrolled at UWA are required to complete a short compulsory online module called Academic Conduct Essentials (ACE) within the first 10 weeks of semester. ACE introduces students to essential knowledge regarding ethical scholarship, helps prepare them for the expectations of their university career and informs them of correct academic conduct. The unit can be accessed via WebCT. The final unit quiz must be completed with a mark of 80% or greater. Students may attempt the quiz as many times as they wish to gain the required pass mark. Completion of the unit will be recorded as an Ungraded Pass (UP) on students’ academic records. Non-completion (NC) within the required timeframe will also be documented on formal academic records. More information on ACE is available at ace.uwa.edu.au Faculty Marks Adjustment Policy
