Missed tests, in-class assignments, and presentations will result in a grade of zero unless a valid, unavoidable reason has occurred and the student has notified the professor within 24 hours. Supporting documentation may be required.
Assignments are due at the beginning of class on the specified date. Late submission of assignments will be subject to a penalty of ten percent (10%) per day and will not be accepted beyond TWO (2) business days after the assignment due date
It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that a copy of all assignments is kept.
In the case of acceptable extenuating circumstance, your professor may grant an extension to a due date but such extension requests must be discussed prior to the assignment due date.
