Required texts
Saunders, A., Cornett, M., and Erhemjamts, O. 2021, Financial Institutions Management: A Risk Management Approach, McGraw Hill, 10th edition.
ISBN10: 1260013820. The book is available through ProQuest database of the library.
Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
Where possible, all assessment items will be submitted online via the teaching site in ºÚÁϳԹÏÍøLearn. The first page of each assessment item should include the following information:
- Student ID number:
- Assessment Name:
- Word Count (if applicable):
Students' names are not to be included on any assessment tasks/submission. Only Student ID numbers should be included (as per the Assessment Policy and Assessment Procedures).
Assessment items must be submitted to the assignment area in the unit's ºÚÁϳԹÏÍøLearn site, relating to that piece of assessment. It is the student's responsibility to upload the correct assessment item, to the right submission section.
Late submissions will only be accepted for a limited period. If more than one late submission is made within that period, only the first late submission will be accepted for marking and may be subject to penalties as detailed in the Assessment Procedures.
Extensions
Students can apply for an extension to the submission due date for an assessment item through extenuating, evidenced circumstances (specific details are found in the Assessment Procedures). Extensions must be applied for before the due date. Documentary evidence (e.g. medical certificate) will be expected for an extension to be granted, however this will not guarantee that the application will be successful. The Unit Convener or relevant Program Director will decide whether to grant an extension and the length of the extension.
An Assignment Extension form is available from the page.
Late submission of assignments without an approved extension will result in a penalty of 5% reduced marks from the total available, per calendar day late. An assignment submitted over 7 days late will not be accepted.
Special assessment requirements
You will obtain a pass or better in this unit if you submit each assessment item, and achieve a final cumulative mark of at least 50 percent.
Use of AI is not permitted in this unit
The University's position is that artificial intelligence services must not be used for assessment or assessment preparation by students unless explicitly allowed in the assessment instructions for an assessment task published with the assessment task and/or in the unit outline. That is, an AI service may only be used if:
a) its use is authorised by the unit convener as part of the specified task; and
b) it is used in the way allowed in the assessment instructions and/or unit outline; and
c) its use is appropriately referenced, meaning that the students must reference the use of AI in their assessment in the same way as they reference other source material.
The use of AI has not been specified in the assessment instructions for the unit or in the unit outline and thus, AI is not a permissible resource.
Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø students have to complete the annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
Participation requirements
Active engagement in all online modules enhances your learning and is strongly advised. Unless specifically stated in the unit outline, there is no mandatory attendance requirement. However, you may elect to attend timetabled activities, as they allow you to ask 'real time' questions to develop your understanding for the relevant assessment tasks.
Required IT skills
Use of calculators, computer, web searching skills and familiarity with excel spreadsheet modelling is required.
Work placement, internships or practicums
