Furniture ProgrammesProgramme Assessment
This applies to all programmes
Assessment in the NZ Certificate in Arts and Design L4, NZ Certificate in Creativity L4 and the NZ
Diploma in Creativity L5 programmes is achievement-based.
The achievement-based assessment used in this programme provides a system to measure your
performance against specific knowledge, behaviour and skills-based criteria considered essential
for design and arts without limiting the range of work produced.
Assessment may be used for both formative and summative purposes. You are introduced to the
assessment methodology during the programme orientation.
Underpinning assessment practices in this programme is the core belief that assessment should
not only assess the level of achievement but should also provide on-going feedback that informs
practice and improves performance. Both formative and summative assessment may be used
during each course.
All summative assessment schedules and details will be provided to you within 14 days of
programme commencement.
Formative assessment is used throughout the programme to monitor your progress and as a basis
for feedback to you on that progress.
The following grades shall be used:
A (+/-) Pass with Distinction
B (+/-) Pass with Merit
C (+) Pass
D Fail
E Fail
F Ungraded Fail (no assessment undertaken)
DNC Did not complete both all compulsory assessments for a course and CAR
(grade) (AEG) Aegrotat Pass
CR Specified or Unspecified or Cross Credit
W Withdrawn
R Restricted Pass
CO Conceded Pass
CP Conditional Pass
The following percentages for each grade shall be used:
A+ 85 – 100
A 80 – 84
A- 75 – 79
B+ 70 – 74
B 65 – 69
B- 60 – 64

Furniture ProgrammesD 40 – 49
E 0 – 39
F Ungraded Fail (no assessment undertaken)
Te Reo Māori
UCOL acknowledges the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi and endorses the right of its students
to use Te Reo Māori in assessments. If you are fluent in Te Reo and wish to be assessed in it, you
should inform your lecturers of this at the beginning of the programme. See: Assessment in Te
Reo Maori Procedure Te Aromatawai I Roto I Te Reo Maori
Schedule of Assessment
You are advised of the specific assessment requirements at the start of each course.
Conduct During Assessments
During your study, you are expected to observe and comply with the Academic Statute and
all programme regulations. Plagiarism or cheating is not tolerated. Academic dishonesty
includes:
Copying from or inappropriate communicating with another person during an exam
or assessment
Possessing any unauthorised material during an exam or assessment
Submitting any work for assessment that is not your own and whose author has not
been acknowledged
Copying another’s work
Collaborating with others in the preparation of material, except where this is an
assessment requirement
Resubmitting work without prior written approval of the lecturer
Turnitin, or a similar programme, may be used to determine whether you have committed
academic dishonesty. Also, see Conduct of Examinations and Assessments Procedure.
Part VIII of the Academic Statute outlines the disciplinary proceedings that apply should you
breach these rules.
Extensions
Extensions for an assessment can only be granted prior to the assessment due date and only in
exceptional circumstances as defined by UCOL Academic Statute. Consideration of exceptional
circumstances will be made in accordance with the UCOL Assessment Procedure. Evidence of the
circumstances may be required.
An application for an extension must be submitted to your lecturer in writing using the
Appendix 2 – Request for Extension form at the back of this handbook. It can also be made
in electronic form via email which must include all the information required by the form.
Where an extension has been granted, and the extension deadline has been met, no penalties will
apply. You will be assessed, and feedback provided, in the same way as if the assessment was
undertaken on the original date and time.
Faculty of Engineering and Applied Technologies – Student Handbook 2021 Page 15 of 23
Furniture ProgrammesPenalties for Late Submissions
In the event of you being unable to attend or hand in an assessment, a medical (or comparable)
certificate is required. If you do not attend, or hand in an assessment by the scheduled assessment
time and you do not offer such a certificate you will be deemed to have voluntarily missed the
assessment. Generally, this will mean that you will have only one more opportunity to be assessed
for a result in that particular assessment.
The following conditions apply to all late submissions of assignment material that does not have
an approved extension:
All assessment work received after the due date and time, and not subject to a lecturer-
approved extension, will attract a penalty.
The penalty for late submission for any assessment is 10% each calendar day beyond the due
for submission
The penalty is applied for a maximum of 5 calendar days.
An assignment received after 5 calendar days from the due date for submission will be
returned unmarked and an ungraded fail grade will be entered for the assignment.
No late submissions may be accepted after marked assignments have been returned to
students unless it can be determined that there will be no advantage to the student
submitting the late assignment or disadvantage to students who have submitted the work
on time.
If you do not undertake the assessment on the reassigned due date and time, and/or do not
complete the assessment successfully, there will usually be no further resit opportunities
and a ‘Not Achieved’ or ‘D’ or ‘E’ for ‘Fail’ result will be entered for the assessment.
Reconsideration of Results
If you believe that your assessment has been incorrectly assessed, you can apply to your lecturer
for a reconsideration of result within five (5) days of the return of the assessment. You must apply
in writing using the Appendix 3 – Request for Reconsideration of Result form at the back of this
handbook. You must specify the parts of the assessment that are to be reconsidered and give
reasons why reconsideration is sought.
Your result may be unchanged, raised or lowered following reconsideration. The reconsidered
result will be recorded as the final result. However, you still have the right to appeal this result in
accordance with the Academic Statute.
Resits
You must attend all scheduled assessments. In the event of not being unable to attend an
assessment, a medical (or comparable) certificate is required. If you do not attend the scheduled
assessment time and who do not offer such a certificate you will be deemed to have voluntarily
missed the assessment.
A resit is an opportunity for a second attempt for an unsuccessful result at an assessment task
(whether submitted assignment work or a theory test).
Any resulting grade from a resit will not exceed the minimum pass mark (C) for that assessment,
i.e., an A or B grade (or an associated plus/minus) cannot be obtained from successful completion
of an achievement-based resit.
Faculty of Engineering and Applied Technologies – Student Handbook 2021 Page 16 of 23
Furniture ProgrammesAny resit must be successfully completed before the end of the calendar year if you are to
complete pre-requisite requirements prior to the next academic year or to receive your award in
the following graduation ceremony.
An application for a resubmit or resit must be submitted to your lecturer in writing using the
Appendix 4 – Request for Resit form at the back of this handbook. It can also be made in electronic
form via email which must include all the information required by the form.
Special Passes
Applications for special passes are accepted and considered under the terms of the Academic
Statute.
Academic Appeals
The academic appeals process is outlined in Part IX of the Academic Statute.
Inability to Meet Programme Requirements
Under certain circumstances, an individual study contract may be drawn up to encourage you to
meet programme requirements. Any failure to meet this contract may result in you being asked to
leave the programme.
If you have a serious health problem or other personal circumstances that impact on your ability
to meet programme requirements, please inform your Lecturer.
Remember, if you are having difficulties with your programme there are ways UCOL can help you.
If you do decide to withdraw, you must complete a Change of Circumstances Form. These can be
obtained from the Information Centre.
Faculty of Engineering and Applied Technologies – Student Handbook 2021 Page 17 of 23
Furniture ProgrammesHealth and Safety
You must wear your steelcaps whenever you are in a workshop. Lecturers will ask you to
leave if you don’t have your boots.
A workshop safety test will be completed before you are allowed to use any machinery:
You cannot use workshop machinery without direct supervision unless you have
passed the safety test. A pass mark of 100% is required.
After the first four weeks of the programme you will be given one final opportunity
to pass the test. After that time it will be deemed that you will not be able to meet
programme outcomes as you will not be able to use the workshop
You will only be able to complete the courses relating to Communications and
Computing, and Design Drawing.
A meeting between you and the Programme Leader will be arranged so they can be
quite sure that every available opportunity has been offered to you in terms of
assistance to pass the test.
Workshop Rules
1. Steelcaps must be worn in the workshops
2. The workshop may not be entered if a lecturer is not present.
3. No equipment or machine may be used if instruction has not been given on that
particular machine.
4. Running, pushing or skylarking, or conscious dangerous use of a machine or tool is
forbidden.
5. Students with long hair will be required to wear a hair net or band at all times when
operating on or near machinery.
6. Safety glasses are provided and must be worn when:
Cutting, drilling, grinding or using compressed air.
Or at any time you consider eye safety to be an issue.
7. Machines and equipment you will be using are expensive. To avoid unpleasant
repercussions, please report any damage or breakage to your lecturer immediately.
8. Keep clear of other students using machinery.
