What are alternative arrangements for assessment?
The purpose of alternative arrangements is to provide students with a disability or long-term medical condition with an equitable opportunity to demonstrate their potential in examinations. Monash is committed to enabling inclusive assessment procedures by providing alternative arrangements for assessment (Inclusive Practices: Disability Plan 2004 – 2008 p 20 ) The Monash University Alternative Arrangements for Assessments (AAAs) include provision of reasonable accommodation for students registered with the Disability Liaison Unit (DLU) undertaking examinations or faculty based tests. The university must provide AAAs for students whose applications have been assessed and supported by the DLU. These provisions assist students to reach their full potential by minimising the impact of their disability in the assessment process. The provision of AAAs does not undermine academic integrity Should an alternative be offered, the assessment criteria will need to be revisited to ensure equity. T
