Submission guidelines

All subject assessment must now be submitted online. It is no longer possible to submit assessment via email or in person. 

Your assessment should be submitted electronically by 5.00 pm (Melbourne Time) on the due date. Assessment submitted after this time will incur marking penalties. Find out more about penalties for late submission.

Instructions on how to submit your assessment through Blackboard, the University's Learning Management System, can be viewed under the ‘Assessment' tab on the subject homepage. You will require your University email username and password to access Blackboard.

An assessment coversheet must be submitted with all forms of assessment. You must paste this cover sheet into your assessment (instructions are on the cover sheet).

Your submission must be in the form of one single file to be uploaded into the system. The file should be either a Rich Text File (.rtf) or a Word Document (.doc). PDF files which have been created by scanning a printed copy of your assignment will not be accepted.

Assessment coversheet

You must use the latest version of the coversheet, which may be downloaded below.

Once you have submitted your assessment through Blackboard, you will receive an electronic confirmation immediately. The Melbourne Law Masters Office will check your assignment the following day and contact you if there are any problems in reading your assessment.

If you are having difficulty submitting your paper via Blackboard, please ring the Masters Office on 03 8344 6190 prior to the submission deadline for assistance or your paper will be marked as late and marking penalties will apply.

Please be aware that ALL research papers, take-home examinations and class assignments will be put through an electronic checking system for plagiarism checking and will be retained for this purpose in future.
