Assessment

"The delivery and assessment of courses should be inclusive and enable students with a disability to demonstrate equitably the achievement of learning outcomes"

Guidelines Relating to Students with Disabilities : PDF, Australian Vice Chancellors Committee 2006

The University has a range of policies and processes in place that provide flexibility in assessment for students with disabilities. The University is legally required to provide reasonable adjustments to students with disabilities in matters related to assessment. Reasonable adjustments to assessment should be determined in a manner that does not compromise academic standards, does not guarantee the outcome of assessment and allows the students equal opportunity to display their knowledge and skills.

The Centre for the Study of Higher Education's Core principles of effective assessment provides a useful overview of the role of assessment, has 16 indicators for effective assessment in higher education and provides insight into factors students value in assessment.

The following pages provide more detailed information on specific assessment issues.
