Assignment Late Policy

To clarify our late policy:

• If you need an extension on an assignment and have a valid reason for it, please email one of the TA’s in advance of the deadline.

• Valid reasons for extensions are “unavoidable” events that can’t reasonably be planned for or scheduled around. Examples include:

  • unplanned travel
  • sickness/injury
  • family emergencies
  • registering for the class that week.

• Extensions will typically be for 48 hours, i.e. until 11:59 PM EST on Saturday night. Only for extraordinary circumstances will longer extensions be granted.

• If you submit late without an extension, you will get -20% off your grade on the assignment for each day late, up to two days after the deadline(i.e. until Saturday night). After that late assignments will not be accepted.

  • If you are unable to submit on time and not physically able to inform a TA beforehand(e.g. due to serious injury), we will make special considerations, but otherwise you must notify us in advance to get an extension.
