Extension Requests

The granting of extensions for assignments that fall due within any given semester is left to the discretion of the individual faculty member.

Students wishing an extension beyond the end of the semester must submit a completed and signed extension request form to the Vice President for Academic Life/Dean of the Faculty prior to the end of the semester. The Vice President for Academic Life/Dean of the Faculty will grant such extensions only for adequate reasons, such as serious illness or a death in the family. For those who do not obtain an extension before the end of the semester, a special request may be made to the Vice President for Academic Life/Dean of the Faculty. In this case, however, penalties for lateness may be imposed. No late work will be accepted after one week following the end of the semester. All late work approved by this extension policy must be turned in to the Vice President for Academic Life/Dean of the Faculty.

The school does not grant (incompletes.( Students who fail to complete work within the allowed extension time will receive a grade of (F( for the incomplete work. If a student does not complete the work as announced in the syllabus at the beginning of the term without negotiation for an extension with the instructor and the Vice President for Academic Life/Dean of the Faculty, the student will not pass the course.
