Late homework/assignments will NOT BE ACCEPTED. Assignments not turned in on time will receive a zero.
Academic Honesty: All examinations are individual effort only. Students may get help from others on assignments but everyone is expected to turn in his or her own work. Copying another's work and turning it in as one's own is an incident of academic dishonesty and the student may receive an F for the course if this occurs.

You will first need to provide documentation of your disability to the Student Disability Services Office located in the office of Academic Planning and Support.
