1. You will be advised of the application outcome by Official Communication within 7 working days.
   • If there is a delay, we will contact you.

   • For example, if your application is declined and the due date has passed, you could fail the assessment or receive less marks.
3. If your application is approved, a new due date and time will be determined based on the supporting documentation you have provided. For an assessment item with a scheduled date and time (e.g. examination, oral presentation) you will be provided with at least three working days' notice of the new date and time.
4. You should not make commitments to other arrangements that could prevent you from completing the assessment task(s) on time.

   • This will be converted to a final grade once your submission has been marked.
