Assignment Policy
There will be many assignments. All work MUST be submitted on their given due date
or a grade of zero will be assigned. No late homework assignments will be accepted.
Please begin assignments early to ensure that you finish them on time. All grades for
each assignment will be posted online on D2L at most one week after the due date. All
assignments are due Thursdays before 4:00p.m.
Academic Integrity:
All assignments must be the student’s own work. If you copy homework, you and the
student whose homework you copied will receive a zero. If you are caught copying
another student’s exam, or allowing someone to copy your exam, you will fail the exam
and face further academic discipline.

Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Northeastern Illinois University does not discriminate against
persons on the basis of disability. In addition, Northeastern provides reasonable
