Required resources	Each assessment task in this assessment tool outlines specific resources that the student must have access to as part of the assessment process. Assessors must ensure that students have appropriate access to these resources before any assessment is conducted.

Reasonable adjustment	Acumen Education enables reasonable adjustments to be made to assessment procedures for students with special needs, such as people with disabilities or with language or literacy difficulties. Assessing knowledge is usually assessed through written or oral, short-answer tests where assessors seek to determine the extent of the student’s knowledge. However, you may need to do the following for a student Ask questions orally instead of in a written format Provide equipment such as text enlargers, image enhancers, and voice recorders. Give the student more time to complete the assessment;, allocate a different time for completion of the assessment; Offer a separate, quiet room. Modifying or providing equipment Adapting delivery strategies Ensuring that course activities are sufficiently flexible, providing additional support to student where necessary Customising resources and activities within the training package or accredited course Monitoring the adjustments to ensure student needs continue to be met
Plagiarism policy	Acumen education takes a systemic approach to the treatment of plagiarism in academic work. The policy is intended to promote honesty in learning and assessment and respect for the work of others. Contravention of this policy will result in students being penalized. Please read the plagiarism policy available in your student handbook and to be aware of the consequences and to understand your rights and responsibilities.
Academic appeals	Where a student wishes to appeal an assessment they are required to notify their assessor in the first instance. Where appropriate the assessor may decide to re-assess the student to ensure a fair and equitable decision is gained. The assessor shall complete a written report regarding the re-assessment outlining the reasons why assessment was or was not granted. If this is still not to the student’s satisfaction the student shall formally lodge an appeal by submitting a written letter within one week of receiving the results using the form 10.1 for Complaints and appeals outlining the reasons for the appeal. They shall lodge this with student administrations department and the appeal shall be entered into the ‘complaints and appeals register’. The Operations Manager shall be notified and shall seek details from the assessor involved and any other relevant parties. A decision shall be made regarding the appeal either indicating the assessment decision stands or details of a possible re-assessment by another assessor appointed by Acumen. The student shall be notified in writing of the outcome with reasons for the decision. The student shall also be provided the option of activating the external appeals process if they are not satisfied with the outcome. The student is required to notify Acumen if they wish to proceed with the external appeals process.
Reassessment process	Student will be assessed as being competent only upon satisfactory completion of all the assessments in a unit. If a student is not able to demonstrate satisfactory completion of all of the required assessments of the unit, the result for that unit will be recorded as Not Competent.

	If a student has submitted all the tasks and successfully completed more than 50%* of the assessment tasks for a unit, they will be provided with specific feedback and invited to re-submit their assessment. If a student has submitted and not successfully completed more than 50%* of the assessment tasks for a unit, they will be required to undertake the unit again. In the case of re-submission, the following actions shall occur: The student must apply for resubmission within one week of the result is made available to him/her. This means that the student is responsible to acknowledge that he/she has received the result and has been deemed NC for the units of competency undertaken. Reassessment may need to be arranged every weekend on Saturday evenings in order to minimize disruption. If a student is assessed as “Not Competent’ after the resubmission, he or she will be identified as a student-at-risk and an Academic Performance Improvement (API) Plan will be created during an Intervention Strategy Meeting between the Acumen’s Operations Manager, Trainer & Assessor and student. The date for a third assessment will be nominated by the student in consultation with Trainer & Assessor, but should be no longer than 1 month from the previous re-submission date. One re-submission is allowable per unit per student free of cost. Additional re- submissions will be charged at $200. If the student remains ‘Not Competent’ after a third re-submission, he or she will be notified that this result is final and he or she will be unable to successfully complete the course in which they are enrolled at this point. * Due to the variance in the amount of work completed for each assessment task in a unit, 50% will be determined by the number of assessment tasks submitted as opposed to the amount of evidence submitted.
