If a student has not had all the normal opportunities for first sit, referral and/or deferral due to extenuating circumstances accepted by the University or if the student has to rework some assessment due to academic misconduct, then they will be given ‘continued reassessment’ in the module.
College Assessment Teams input the continued reassessment submission deadline in SITS against the students in this position, so the deadline will only appear in their assessment statement, not the Module Information tool which displays whole module first sit and reassessment due dates.
The Module Leader will then need to prepare an assessment task for these students (this may be the same task or a different task). A student will normally undertake the continued reassessment alongside the standard delivery of the module in the next academic year, depending on the timing of the reassessments (e.g. semester 1 reassessments with deferrals can be continued into the semester 2 reassessment period).
Set up on Blackboard
For continued reassessments, students should submit on Blackboard to the Reassessment submission point (the same one they should have used previously).
Module leaders will need to change the reassessment submission point due date and availability in release conditions as it will likely have expired.
For Continued Reassessment, marks can be approved for transfer again, despite the fact a mark may already have been transferred for this student: this is a difference with first sit assessments as SITS has an additional space for the further reassessment attempt.
Otherwise the process of submitting the marks to the Assessment Teams is the same.
