8. Fit to Sit Model: Students who sit an exam and/or in-class test or otherwise submit an assessment, declare themselves fit to do so and will not be eligible to apply for special consideration unless there is evidence that (a) they were unfit to make reasonable judgement on their fitness to undertake the assessment, due to mental illness or other exceptional circumstances; or they were taken ill during the assessment (in the case of an examination or test), and this can be independently corroborated.

9. Requests for Extension: Late penalty is applied at the rate of 5% per day of the total assignment mark (i.e., .75 mark per day). Grant of extensions are based solely on supporting evidence submitted via ask.mq.edu.au, BEFORE THE DUE DATE. Students are advised to submit the approval notice together with the assignment or, if the assignment had been submitted, to email it to the unit convenor. No submission will be accepted and a mark of 0 will be given for work submitted after the marks and feedback are released.
