Policies
This section provides an overview of only a few important policies that are key to your academic success. However, students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with all College policies that cover academic matters and student conduct. All College policies can be accessed on the College Policies webpage.
Assignment Policies:
An assignment is to be submitted before, or on the specified date and time as determined by the course instructor.
If a student cannot submit an assignment on the due date for any reason, they must notify the appropriate professor 24 hours in advance and request an extension giving reasons for the delay (exceptional circumstances* may exist in cases of emergency). If an extension is not granted, the student is expected to have the assignment completed by the specified date and submitted in the correct format and location as outlined in the assignment. Late submissions are subject to the program wide late policy:
- The assignment submission time and date will be determined based on the timestamp indicated on the eCentennial dropbox submission.
- Students will have a 15 minute grace period during which the assignment is not considered late.
- After the 15 minute grace period submitted assignments will receive a penalty of 10% per day for 3 days.
- Assignments submitted after 3 days will not be accepted or graded and will receive an automatic grade of 0.
In exceptional circumstances,* if a student cannot submit an assignment on the date for any reason, they must notify the appropriate professor at least 24 hours in advance or as soon as possible and request an extension giving reasons for the delay. When an extension is granted, the student will receive full consideration for the assignment. Assignments with extensions are due at a specific date and time as arranged with the professor. Penalties will be applied to extended assignments. In certain instances, with late, makeup or remedial work, assignments may be marked as pass/fail (i.e. minimum/ maximum 50%) only.
If you cannot complete an assignment on-time the instructor will determine the legitimacy of the request to extend the deadline:
- If the request to extend is denied the assignment will be subject to the program wide late policy.
If the request to extend is granted, the professor will make appropriate arrangements with the student for submitting the late project. The student is required to submit the project within the time limits specified by the instructor.
