Medical Law and Ethics, Second Edition Bonnie F. Fremgen ©2006 Pearson Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall Upper Saddle River, NJ 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 the instructor to make alternative arrangements. The possibility of alternative arrangements is at the discretion of the instructor. Active communication is the key to overcoming any hurdles you may encounter during the term. It is your responsibility to inform the 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 the 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, internet connectivity issues and clinical blocks are not considered extenuating circumstances. Late Work Policy Students are expected to submit all outside-of-class assignments and projects on the due date as listed in the course syllabus. The University acknowledges that at times extenuating circumstances occur, so late work or alternative assignments will be accepted up to one week after the original due date. Ten percent (10%) will be deducted for any late assignment. The instructor may require an alternative version of the assignment be submitted.
