Late Submissions

Students should submit their weekly assignments on time. However, faculty can accept late work at his/her discretion with proof of mitigating circumstance, but should clearly post his/her Late Submission Policy in the D2L classroom in their initial course announcement. For assignments, a 10% late penalty will be imposed for each week that the submission is late. If a student does not post an initial discussion post by its due date, a zero is awarded, but partial point consideration may still be given for timely submission of replies to classmates. At Aspen, we strive to teach students behaviors that extend beyond the classroom. Submitting work by deadlines is one of those behaviors that carry over into life and work, not just in the classroom. Therefore, faculty should encourage students to not submit late work habitually. Faculty should assist in holding students accountable to course deadlines, except under unusual circumstances. Please see the full University adopted late policy in the University Catalog.
