If students cannot complete an assignment on time or need to reschedule a classroom observation due to extreme circumstances outside of the students’ control (e.g., hospitalization, PK–12 school schedule change), students must email the relevant faculty member as soon as possible to explain the situation and request an extension. In less extreme circumstances, the students should contact the relevant faculty member to request an extension well in advance of the deadline. The granting of the extension is at the faculty member’s discretion. In either case, the students and their faculty members will determine a reasonable extension deadline during the term.
