Late Assignment Policy

Points for late assignments will be deducted as follows from the final assignment grade:

  • 1 calendar day late = 4 percentage points
  • 2 calendar days late = 8 percentage points
  • 3 calendar days late = 16 percentage points
  • 4 calendars days late = grade of zero

Example: If a student received a 94% on the assignment submitted after the assignment submission deadline:

  • 1 calendar day late = final grade of 90%
  • 2 calendar days late = final grade of 86%
  • 3 calendar days late = final grade of 78%
  • 4 calendar days late = final grade of zero

Any deviation from this policy must be approved by the Program Director and stated clearly on the syllabus. Extenuating circumstances will be handled by faculty on an individual basis.
