2. Participation Policy
 Per the SNHU Attendance Policy,
you are required to participate in
the graded discussion board
during the first week of class or
you will be withdrawn from the
course for non-participation.
Therefore, I want to remind you
that it is important that you
participate in 1-1 Discussion:
Natural Resources by Sunday,
December 8th 11:59 PM EST.

3. Late Policy
 Students must submit discussion board postings
during the time frame indicated in the
assignment rubric. Discussion board submissions
will not be accepted for credit after the
deadline.
 Students needing extra time may submit
assignments, excluding discussion board postings,
up to one week after the assignment due date.
Students who submit work up to one week late
will receive a penalty of 10 percent applied to
the grade achieved on the late assignment
regardless of the day of the week on which the
work is submitted. Students who submit
assignments more than one week late will
receive a grade of zero on the assignment unless
they have made prior arrangements with the
instructor.

4. Late Policy
 Instructors will accept assignments more than one week late if students have
made prior arrangements with the instructor and the instructor agrees to an
extension. Students who submit work late receive a penalty of 10 percent
applied to the grade achieved on the late assignment. Students must meet
the deadline agreed upon in advance with the instructor. Students who do not
meet the agreed-upon deadline will receive a grade of zero on the
assignment.
 Instructors will accept late work without prior arrangement in the case of
extenuating circumstances (such as hospitalization, childbirth, major
accident, injury or bereavement). Students who suffer such a circumstance
must notify the instructor as soon as possible of the extenuating circumstance
that prevented them from submitting work on time and determine a deadline
with the instructor for submitting the work. In these instances the instructor
will waive the late penalty. Students who do not meet the deadline arranged
with the instructor will receive a grade of zero on the assignment.
 Students must submit the final assignment no later than the last day of the
term. No assignments are accepted after the last day of the term.
