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 message 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. In either case, the students and their faculty members will determine a reasonable extension deadline during the term (generally one week but can be adjusted as needed).
