Policy on Late Assignments, Tests

The dates on the schedule below are the dates that each assignment (Training, Exams and Homework) will be available in SAM.  Each assignment will be available for one week from the date it becomes available. Be advised that some of the training and MS Office Exams may take you longer than one class period to complete--plan accordingly.

Tests 1 - 3 and the Final Exam are NOT in SAM, they are avaiilable in WebCT. Tests must be taken on the assigned date at the assigned time. There is no "extra credit" make-up work.  

Just do the assigned work at the assigned time. Excuses will not be accepted, but legitimate reasons for late work will be given due consideration by the instructor.
