EXTENSIONS
If a student is aware of extenuating circumstances that warrant an extension, a request for an extension can be made to the instructor. An extension request must have a good reason to be considered, and should be made well in advance if possible. Extensions requested after the time the assignment is due will be considered only in extreme circumstances. If an extension is granted, the normal penalties will not be applied until the granted extension period has lapsed.
Exceptions can generally be made for serious illness, family emergencies, and the like. Exceptions will not be granted for poor planning & time management, or heavy workload.
