Late Assignments in Composition

Any assignment that is not handed over to the instructor during the class period in which it is due is considered late. Any assignment that is not uploaded to Turnitin.com on the day that it is due is considered late. Any late assignment must be accompanied by a cover letter. It will not be graded without this letter.

1. The cover letter should be as close as possible to one full page without going over.
2. The cover letter should be in full block format. Click here to see a sample of the format.

4. The cover letter set up as a letter of request. The request is that the assignment will be graded despite the fact that it is late.
5. The cover letter will be graded as part of the assignment. It will be graded for grammar, content, organization, formatting, writing style and anything else that might be graded in any writing assignment.
