PoliciesSubmitting Assignments Assignments should be posted on the discussion board, or submitted by email (if so indicated). E-mail assignments are due before midnight (EST) on Friday of each week unless otherwise directed by your instructor. Discussion Board assignments are due before midnight on Sundays. Assignments to be emailed must be in the hands of the instructor by the date indicated. Students should not consider email assignments complete until an e-mail confirmation has been received from the Instructor indicating receipt of the assignment. Due Dates and Deadlines Your Instructor will establish due dates and deadlines for all assignments and exams. Late assignments will be accepted only after adequate, excused documentation. If your assignment is to be late and you have an excuse, call or e-mail your Instructor before the due date. Internet travel can be sluggish at times, and the Internet does not always send e-mail messages immediately. All messages coming into IEP computers are dated and timed. This time/date stamp will be the official receipt time for email assignments. Proctors All students are required to have a Proctor who serves as the University's representative in test administration. Your Proctor should be a supervisor or boss who is willing to receive your examinations from the Instructor, administer them to you as indicated, guarantee the exam was completed in a secure environment and completed in accordance to University policies, and resubmit your answers to the Instructor by the deadline. When selecting your Proctor, you should identify an individual who agrees to serve in this capacity. The following information should then be submitted to JSU: Proctor's name, title and qualifications to serve in this role; telephone number and email address. Your Proctor must be approved by JSU prior to initiation of your course of study. Make-Up Work Make-up assignments are offered at the discretion of the Instructor. If you miss an assignment for legitimate, excused reasons, you will be given the opportunity to makeup the assignment when it is convenient to the Instructor. Excused assignments will always be considered on an individual basis. Documentation of the excused assignments must be on file before you turn in makeup work. If you miss assignments without a legitimate excuse, you will receive a zero for the assignment. It should be noted that work schedules are not an acceptable excuse for missing assignments. Special Concerns A student who feels that she or he is experiencing difficulty in the course should contact the Instructor immediately for extra help. Disability Accommodations Statement Any individual who qualifies for reasonable accommodations under The Americans With Disabilities Act or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 should contact the Instructor immediately. |
