Code of Practice - Submissions

Purpose of this Code of Practice

This Code of Practice sets out the approach to assessment, examinations, and submissions, to demonstrate Capital College’s commitment to transparency.

This represents a set of standards against which all assessments, examinations and submissions are conducted.

This also provides a foundation on which the assessment processes are built, and as a benchmark against which those processes must be judged, internally by professional academic staff, external examiners, and also independent appeals panels.

Code of Practice for Submissions (Projects, Portfolios, etc.)

The Code of Practice for Submissions outlines the expectations for submitting coursework such as projects and portfolios. Here are the key points:

1. Timeliness: All work must be submitted by the specified deadline. Late submissions may be subject to penalties unless an extension has been granted due to extenuating circumstances.

2. Quality: Work submitted should reflect the student's best effort and meet the standards outlined in the assignment guidelines.

3. Originality: All work submitted must be the student's own. Plagiarism, collusion, or any form of cheating is strictly prohibited and will result in disciplinary action.

4. Presentation: Work should be neatly presented and formatted according to the guidelines provided. This includes proper citation of sources, use of headings and subheadings, and proofreading for spelling and grammar errors.

5. Feedback: Students are encouraged to seek feedback on their work. This can be done through consultations with instructors, peer review, or use of feedback tools provided by the College.

Remember, these codes of practice are in place to ensure a fair and effective learning environment for all students. It's important to familiarize yourself with these guidelines and adhere to them throughout your academic journey at Capital College.
