Academic Consideration in Assessment

Today's Date

What is Academic Consideration in Assessment?
ACAP recognises that unforeseeable circumstances impact all of our lives. ACAP has implemented Academic Consideration in Assessment as a measure to ensure that the assessment of students takes account of these unforeseeable circumstances.

When should I apply for Academic Consideration in Assessment?
When you believe these unforeseeable circumstances genuinely impact your ability to demonstrate your learning achievements in your assessments, you should make a request using this form.

How do I know my circumstance entitle me to Academic Consideration in Assessment?
Generally, ACAP considers a circumstance to be unforeseeable when it is beyond a students control. You can find a general guide on page 13 of the ACAP Assessment Policy and Procedure (found here).

Is there a timeframe?
A request for Academic Consideration in Assessment must be lodged no later than 10 working days after the due date or completion date of the assessment concerned, or by the date agreed with the applicable Unit Coordinator.

We recommend you familiarise yourself with Attachment 4: Academic Consideration in Assessment Policy and Procedure (Page 13) of the ACAP Assessment Policy and Procedure (found here) for a more definitive list of eligible circumstances, application requirements and guidelines to ensure your request is approved.
