Health Psychology Late Stuff Policy


Due dates have been established to help you stay on track and discourage procrastination. But "life happens". Maybe you are sick, have a dentist appointment, or need a mental health day. The reason does not matter. I have a penalty-free three-day grace period on everything EXCEPT the in-person health intervention/public health messaging campaign presentation (spring/fall semester only), discussion posts (summer students only) and the final exam. Before you celebrate this policy, it is important to understand that submitting many things late might result in an unmanageable pile-up at the end. Also, with respect to the video lecture quizzes, you will not have access to these after the grace period. Why does matter? If you need to take the final, 100% of the questions will come from the video lecture quizzes. Without access to these, how will you study?

What if I need more time beyond the grace period?

​

If you cannot submit something by the end of the grace period because of an unforeseen, unavoidable, and justifiable reason, you may contact me (via email or a direct Canvas message) to request an extension. You will need to tell me which graded activity was or will be missed and why. Documentation will be required. IMPORTANT: requests for an extension must be made a soon as possible. Waiting too late might result in a request denial.

Students with ADA Accommodations

​

If you have accommodations for an extension "when symptoms of your disability appear",  the three-day extension begins from the due date, NOT from the end of the grace period.
