Policy: Assignments, including discussion posts and participation, are due as outlined in the classrooms and course syllabi. Technological issues are not considered grounds for late assignment submissions. Assignments that are not submitted by the time indicated in the classroom are subject to deductions as follows:
- Assignments submitted after midnight on the final day of class will not be accepted for grading.
- One to Seven (1-7) days late: 10% deduction per day from the total possible points prior to grading.
- Eight (8) days and beyond: Assignments submitted more than seven (7) days late will not be accepted for grading.
The policy applies to course assignments with the exception of exams, quizzes, discussion question responses, and participation responses to peers, which must be submitted by the due date published within the course.
Faculty retain the privilege of discretion to make exceptions to this policy within the boundaries of all other university policies; faculty may not extend any deadline past the last day of the session. During times of emergency, the University, Colleges, or Deans may institute emergency provisions to expand or supersede current policies for a specified period of time.
Purpose: This policy establishes standard parameters for the submission and evaluation of late assignments.
Scope: This policy applies to all USU students in all courses.
