Late Freebies

How to Take a Late Freebie

You will get two late freebies total in this class. Using a late freebie will give you a one-week extension on that assignment/paper, no questions asked. A late freebie can be used on a paper submission packets, a weekly reading summary assignment, or the Macomb Scavenger Hunt assignment. The final portfolio will not be accepted late. 

The full late policy, including the grace period for quizzes, can be found on the syllabus.
