Late Submission Policies for Assignments

Non-negotiated Late Assignment

This is an assignment that has been handed in late, after the first ten minutes of class without a prior agreement between the student and the professor to extend the time for submission of the assignment. Such assignments will be considered late and will be assigned a grade of zero.

Negotiated Late Assignment

This is an assignment that has been handed in late with the permission of the professor. The professor and student, through discussion, have mutually agreed on the time/extension and penalty (if applicable) that the student will receive.

Extenuating Circumstance

The professor will consider individual, rare extenuating circumstances that may cause an assignment to be late. The student must provide documentation to validate the extenuating circumstance which might include hospitalization, death of a family member or significant other. The professor will have the discretion to determine any extension in such situations.
