Sometimes life happens and now your assignment is late! We have a plan!
First, if at all possible contact your faculty BEFORE the assignment is due and let us know if you need an extension. But if it slipped your mind, or somehow you just missed something that's ok! Assignments can be turned in late for credit for up to 3 days - each day 5% will be taken from your graded score but SOME points is better than NO points. Plus, assignments are built for you to learn from, don't miss important nuggets of knowledge if you don't have to!
