Moberly Area Community College Surgical Technology Handbook 2026-2027

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:

  1. Illness of self or immediate family that requires hospitalization or emergency treatment.
  2. Death in the immediate family.
  3. 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.
