    Assessment Policy
    There are a number of ACT Board of Senior Secondary Studies (BSSS) requirements that students must meet to be
    assessed in a unit and be awarded scores and/or grades. These requirements also ensure consistent procedures across the
    college and the system. Notably these include minimum attendance and completion of assessment task requirements. There
    are also detailed penalties for late or plagiarised work. All students are required to submit their assessment (where
    appropriate) through Turnitin – the college online plagiarism checking site. Students should save copies of their Turnitin
    reports to forward to teachers if requested. Assessments are subjected to rigorous moderation procedures within the college
    to ensure comparability of marking and, at the end of Year 12, college marks are scaled to allow comparability across the
    ACT system. Grades are allocated on the basis of student performance against set criteria that are available in course
    framework documents. Students are encouraged to consider carefully the marks and feedback given on assessments and, if
    there are issues with marking, the college has open and transparent appeals procedures.
    Further details of these assessment policies and procedures are located on the college’s website under the Students tab
    http://www.narrabundahc.act.edu.au.
