601.229 (F19): Late Days Policy

Over the course of the semester, you may use up to 5 late days for homework submissions. A late day is defined as the 24 hour period after a submission deadline. Note that there is a 5% grade overall deduction for each late day you use on a homework.

Important restrictions:

• If you feel that you need to use more than two late days on an assignment, you must notify the course staff by sending a private note to the instructors on Piazza
• Any late days you (attempt to) use after the 5 late days you are given for the semester result in a grade of 0 for the assignment (if there are truly exceptional circumstances, send a private note to the instructors on Piazza explaining the situation)

Note that as a special case, Homework 1 may be submitted 48 hours past the deadline without a grade penalty and without requiring you to use late days.
