Late Assignments

There is a zero tolerance policy for late assignment in this course. This policy means that late assignments will not be accepted.

Extensions

All students get one “shit happens” extension this semester. The extension gives you an additional four days to complete the assignment. To use this extension, please contact me via direct message on the chatboard.

If you need time beyond the “shit happens” extension, please contact me.
