Sample Late Policy
Policy on Late Assignments
If you are seriously ill or
have a family emergency, you must notify me as soon as you know there might be a problem with meeting a
deadline. My voice mail and e-mail
both work 24 hours a day, so you can call or send a message at any time. If I know 48 hours ahead of time that you need to
be late with an assignment,
I can try to be flexible. I will be less flexible after the fact, and apply my late policy strictly (see below). If you miss a
deadline due to an emergency, I will
need a written confirmation (on letterhead) of what the problem was.
l
The on-line quizzes will
only be available for a short period of time (about 3 days). You must take the on-line quiz during this time. No
make-ups will be possible, except
in cases of emergency as described above.
l
Late exams/papers will be
penalized a letter grade per day (i.e. B to B-). Exams or papers more than 4 days late will not be accepted. NOTE:
WEEKENDS COUNT AS 2 DAYS.
Thus, if an exam is due on Friday and you turn it in on Monday, that essay is 2 days late!
