To maintain academic integrity assignments will be screened for authorship, date created, and date submitted. There will be zero tolerance for academic dishonesty, plagiarism, copyright infringement and cheating.

Late assignments are immediately docked 20% of the grade. Late assignments are defined as a student who was present the day an assignment was due and did not submit on time or a student who is deemed absent unexcused the date an assignment is due.

 

Late assignments must be submitted for reconsideration within 2 instructional days of being late. You may re-submit a failed assignment for reconsideration within 2 days of being graded.

 

Per district policy, students have up to 2 extra days to finish assignments due to an excused absence without a grade penalty. Students who are not in class due to unexcused absence, suspension, or expulsion are still responsible for completing assignments and meeting deadlines on time.
