Late Assignments

A student who has a documented, approved absence will have the opportunity to earn full credit for any missed assignments that are submitted late. Assignments turned in late due to a documented absence will be graded as initially assigned. A reasonable deadline for completion of the late work will be established by the instructor.

Late assignments due to an undocumented absence will lose 10 percent for each day the assignment is late. For example, if a student has an undocumented absence for Monday's class and submits the assignment on Tuesday, the highest grade the assignment can receive is a 90. If submitted the following class meeting (Wednesday in this case or 2 days later), the highest grade the assignment can receive is an 80.

In online classes, the late assignment policy is located in the Online Policies and Procedures section of the learning management system.

Students should refer to their specific health science or nursing program handbook for their program's late assignment policy.
