Did You Know? In 2008, there were 29.6 million businesses operating in the United States! Small businesses (those listed by the government with 500 or fewer employees) accounted for 99.9% of all businesses. Large businesses numbered 18,000 in Statistics show that about 50% of new businesses survive after 5 years. Good Management Practices Can Greatly Improve These Odds! That is why we are here!

The Course Syllabus You will find our Syllabus in the Syllabus Area of our Course room, and in the Doc Sharing area of our course. Print it out in Doc Sharing Review the course requirements and expectations.

Kaplan Late Work Policies: Late Work Policy Extenuating Circumstances: If you have extenuating circumstances that prevent you from completing projects, quizzes, seminars or participating in the class, please contact your instructor to make alternative arrangements. The possibility of alternative arrangements is at the discretion of your instructor. Active communication is the key to overcoming any hurdles you may encounter during the term. It is your responsibility to inform your instructor (ahead of time, whenever possible) of extenuating circumstances that might prevent you from completing work by the assigned deadline. In those situations, we will work together to come up with a mutually acceptable alternative. Prior notification does not automatically result in a waiver of the late penalties. Please note that evaluation of extenuating circumstances is at the discretion of your instructor and documentation may be required for verification of the extenuating circumstance. Examples of extenuating circumstances may include but are not limited to: personal/family member hospitalization, death in the family, weather/environmental evacuation due to fire/hurricane, or active military assignment where internet connectivity is unavailable for a limited time period. Computer-related issues and internet connectivity issues are not considered extenuating circumstances. Without Extenuating Circumstances: Up to one week (1-7 calendar days) late 20% deduction in points After one week (8-14 calendar days) late 30% deduction in points No work will be accepted more than two (2) weeks after the due date. Note: In order for you to make up a quiz, exam or discussion thread, you must contact your instructor by at least one day prior to the day you want to make up the work so that access can be provided. Additionally, you must notify your instructor by when you have submitted late work.
