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/accommodation period on

everything EXCEPT the video lecture quizzes and the final exam. Video lecture quizzes still have a due date, but you can take them until the end of the semester. However,

wizard-beware! If you don’t take them by their due date, you will quickly fall behind, and this will impact your success. The final exam must be taken on the scheduled day and time unless prior arrangements have been approved by the course instructor.​​​​

​

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.

​

​​What if I need more time beyond the grace/accommodation period?

​

​If you cannot submit something by the end of the grace/accommodation period because of an unforeseen, unavoidable, and justifiable reason which occurred on or before the due date, 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: If the reason for the extension occurs during the grace/accommodation period, this does NOT qualify for an extension. Why? Because had you submitted by the due date, you would have been fine. You let Murphy’s Law kick in.​
