Unit Portfolio Resubmission Guidelines
To qualify for a resubmission, you must meet ALL of the following requirements:
The original submission must have been submitted on time.
The self-assessment must have been done, with comments, with the original, on time submission.
Students MUST highlight the changed/updated content.
The resubmission must be posted to Canvas within 5 calendar days of it being graded.
Conditions
If a Unit Portfolio is due within 5 days or less of the final term due date, you may not resubmit regardless of any other above criteria.
You may only make one resubmission per unit portfolio assignment.
You may only improve your score up to a Level 3 (at standard) per rubric assignment category. (e.g. Any rubric area could go from a Level 1 or 2 up to a Level 3, but any rubric area already at a Level 3 will not go up to a Level 4.)
