5. Working towards your final submission: Review and action draft feedback Check the ISMG for clarity around expectations. Check references. Upload One Drive link for version history access. Version history shows progress of task from beginning to draft stage and then to final submission.

6. Assessment to be submitted by the advertised date. Student responsibility to seek extension in a timely manner, at least 2 days before. Medical documentation required. (HOF) Illness of a couple of days, is not sufficient grounds for extension, unless the timing of that illness is critical to a process of the assignment. Technology is not a reason for an extension – all work must be saved to the cloud. Advertised school events, such as participation in extra-curricular activities, are not grounds for extension. Submitted in advance of the timeline in the event of a known absence (e.g. holiday, school approved excursion/event) Version histories must be submitted in MyMtA as part of academic integrity. If you do not complete the assessment suite for your subjects, you are not considered for academic awards. Policies and Procedures – Key Points
