Students are expected to submit all coursework by the deadlines listed in the course. The late-work policy applies to assignments, quizzes, exams, and discussion posts. It promotes consistency and academic rigor while allowing instructors to respond to extenuating circumstances.
Students who need an extension because of an extenuating circumstance should contact their instructor before the deadline. If advance contact is not possible, they should contact the instructor as soon as possible after the deadline.
Extenuating circumstances may include:
- Illness or injury, with required documentation.
- The death of a family member or significant other.
- A significant change in employment or military status.
- A traumatic event, such as domestic violence, another act of violence, homelessness, or a natural disaster.
Instructors may grant an extension or accept late work with or without a penalty, based on their assessment of the
student’s circumstances. For illness or injury, documentation from the treating provider must be submitted to
ude.roislecxe@troppustneduts. Documentation may also be required for other extenuating circumstances.
