Many of the reasons students seek support from the Union Advice service can be easily avoided. Triple check your work to avoid issues at a later date!
Class not available to submit to – contact your faculty administrator.
Cite work using ARU’s required conventions. Referencing information can be found at Referencing.
Avoid Academic Misconduct by making sure that all work is your own. Check out our previous Union Advice articles with links to useful University information.
All work should be your own. Check the similarity of your work and make sure to use the university's information on AI guidance. Correct any referencing errors.
Lots of students mistakenly submit to a draft folder or an earlier version of their work. Take 10 seconds to check the work is the final version!
Submit early, don't leave it to the last minute as you risk technical difficulty or submission error!
Encountered an error when submitting? Take photographic / video evidence of the error and the time it has occurred. You may need this for a later date!
Submitting audio files, narrated presentations or having to upload multiple documents? Check that you have followed the formatting requirements.
Need someone else to sign off work before the submission deadline? Make sure that you request this in good time and check that it’s been completed well before the deadline. Don’t rely on someone else, take ownership of your own learning!
