Deferred and supplementary assessments for ANU College of Law courses are always conducted during the formal ANU Deferred Examination period, which are currently scheduled during the first week of the subsequent semester. The dates can be found on the university calendar and you will be advised of the exact date and time no later than ten calendar days prior to the examination. Students will be notified of the outcome of the application via their student email account. The Examinations Office will contact students via their student email account if an application is incomplete, so it is important to check your email account regularly. Holiday or travel plans are not considered valid reasons for further deferrals.

All ANU College of Law further deferred examinations, granted only in exceptional circumstances through the ECA process, will be scheduled during the semester break following this period (after week 6). Students must ensure they are available for examinations during these times as there will be no further provisions made.

If you plan to go on exchange or take a holiday before your exchange semester, be aware of the Deferred and Supplementary Examinations dates. If granted a Deferred Examination or offered a Supplementary Examination, you must be on campus to sit the exam. You may need to choose between your travel plans and attending the examination. The University cannot make alternative arrangements for deferred and supplementary examinations due to exchange or holiday plans.

Assignments, essays, tests, quizzes and other assessment tasks are not classified as examinations. If you have extenuating circumstances and cannot complete the task by the due date and time, please apply for an extension. If you hold a current Education Access Plan (EAP), you may also be eligible to apply for a Time Adjustment.

If you experience misadventure during your quiz, take home, test or any other WATTLE timed assessment task, a report/email must be sent to enquiries.law@anu.edu.au immediately advising the extenuating circumstances experienced whilst undertaking this task.

In the event that a student submits examination answers which are indecipherable to the examiners, the following procedure will be followed:

• A photocopy will be made by the ANU College of Law Student and Education Support team.
• The student will be required to attend the ANU College of Law Student and Education Support office in order to transcribe the illegible text on the original version of the scriptbook.
• The student will provide a word-by-word transcription in red ink and block letters above the word as written (for example, any abbreviations used must be reproduced as they appear in the original script).
• The original will be marked with the aid of the transcription.

In these cases, the ANU College of Law does not guarantee that normal timing for notification of results will be met. Students asked to translate an illegible script in accordance with the above procedures must do so promptly.
