Late Assignments
Students are expected to turn in all assignments on the designated date as identified by the faculty member and documented in the syllabus. If a student is absent on the assigned due date, work must be submitted immediately upon returning. Late work will be given a 10% deduction unless the absence was due to an extenuating circumstance. In the event the situation does not meet the criteria for extenuating circumstances, a grade of “0” (zero) will be given.
Extenuating circumstances are warranted by, but not limited to the following:
- Illness of self or immediate family that requires hospitalization or emergency treatment.
- Death in the immediate family.
- Court appearances.
When possible, the student will provide written documentation and verbal notification to the faculty in advance of the date and time that the assignment is due.
