In the midst of the many challenges students are facing we want to support each of you as you seek to finish your course work and encourage you, if possible, to work towards the set deadlines for each course.
Nonetheless, we recognize that there are several reasons why students may find it difficult to meet end of term deadlines for work: some families have children at home, some students have had to return home earlier than planned, the closing of some libraries has made it more difficult to accesses resources and some are ill or caring for those who are ill. Anyone experiencing any of these situations may ask for a one-week extension beyond the end of term to submit their final assignments. (With an extension, work would be due on April 17, 2020). You will still need to submit an SDF with your professor’s approval. Applications for extensions must be received by the Registrar’s office by Thursday, April 9, 2020. In certain circumstances there may be a reason for a longer extension. If this is the case, please speak directly with your professor and they will work out a suitable arrangement in conversation with the Registrar’s office. (Please note, for graduating students, late submission of work may impact eligibility to graduate.)
For any student finding it difficult to access Library resources please read the note below. Professor Tom Powers has offered to assist anyone finding it difficult to access resources.
