Beyond your three grace days, late assignments will cause you to be penalized by 50% of the possible mark for that assignment if it is up to 24 hours late. After that, no credit will be given. Late demos will be subject to the availability of the grader. No late work will be accepted after solutions have been handed out. Exceptions to this late policy will be made only with advance approval from the instructor; or medical, emotional, or other problems documented in writing as below.
Documentation of Severe Illness or Other Problems: It is the responsibility of the student to provide adequate documentation of the situation and to inform the instructor in a timely manner so that the necessary appropriate action can be taken. Often written assignments and programming projects will be granted no-penalty extensions, but all cases are subject to the instructor's discretion. Usually it is expected that the student will provide a written explantion of the situation to the instructor within three days of returning to the University after any absence or period of illness or other problem. In no case will documents be considered more than seven days after a student has returned to the University. The form for illness (or other problems) must be submitted along with supporting documentation (i.e. a doctor's note in cases of illness); talking to or emailing the instructor is not an acceptable substitute for submitting the required form and supporting documentation. One of the following courses of action will be taken after receipt of appropriate documentation of the situation.
Religious Holidays: Students who are scheduled to attend classes or write examinations on the holy days of their religion must notify the instructor in writing two weeks in advance of the religious holiday they wish to observe. The instructor will provide opportunity for students to make up the missed work or examination without penalty. See the Calendar entry on Religious Holidays
