What do I do if I fail an assignment?

Failing an assignment can be a stressful experience. If you feel stuck and you're not sure how to get unstuck we recommend reaching out to your marker for assistance in reworking the assignment and your SEM if you need additional support.*

So, you've received a fail grade, what do you do next? 

  1. Read section 9.9 of our Student Handbook for details on resubmission eligibility and the resubmission process. You will not be eligible to resubmit if you failed due to late penalties alone.
  2. Once you know you are eligible to resubmit: Read through your marker's feedback carefully so you understand what you need to do to achieve the outcomes for that assignment.
  3. Rework the assignment within ONE WEEK of the grade being awarded.
  4. Add a new submission to the second attempt in the assignment on Moodle.

If you have any questions relating to the assignment or your feedback, please contact your marker. If you have any questions relating to the process of resubmission, please contact moodle@acom.edu.au.

*Your SEM can provide guidance on when it is appropriate to apply for an extension or an enabling plan.
