## Policies
### Late Policy
### Late/Sick Policy
The general rule is no submissions >3 days late. Each day late suffers a 10% penalty (so a 90% submission that is 2 days late gets 70%).
The general rule is that no submissions are accepted more than 3 days
after the deadline. Furthermore, each day late suffers a 10% penalty
(so a 90% submission that is 2 days late gets 70%).
To qualify for a **waiver** of the late penalty, you must have passed at least **2** tests in the `autobadger`. That means we should be able to see at least **2** tests pass when we look under `Issues` of your GitLab repository.
We understand that illness and other circumstances may make it
difficult to always submit on time. However, we also think it is
reasonable to ask students to start early. Thus, you can qualify for
a **waiver** of the late penalty if you have passed at least **2
tests** in the `autobadger`, at least **3 days prior** to the
deadline. That means we should be able to see those 2 tests passing in
a GitLab project `Issue` that was created at least 3 days before the
deadline. Passing tests locally without pushing does not qualify you.
> **NOTE**: A waiver does NOT extend the 3-day hard deadline, but it would waive the 10%/day penalty.
In cases of extreme documented illness (for example, long
hospitalizations), you may ask your instructor to consider waiving the
late penalty even if you didn't start early. In the vast majority of
cases when a student becomes sick, we think it still reasonable expect
an early start on the project given you usually have 1-2 weeks to work
on each one.
We will be able to keep track of your submissions and to determine downstream if you qualify for the late policy. As a result, we ask that you *do not* reach out to TAs or Tyler directly to request for a waiver of the late penalty (unless absolute extreme circumstances demand it).
If you are eligible for the 3-day waiver, it will be applied
automatically. Only email your instructor if you do not believe the
standard late policy applies to your situation (TAs are not involved
in handling these special cases).
> **NOTE**: McBurney accomodations: **email your instructor** a proposed policy for the semester (we can discuss again if your situation changes during the semester)
> **NOTE**: A waiver does NOT extend the 3-day hard deadline; it just waives the 10%/day penalty.
For other cases (falling very far behind, family emergencies, etc), **reach out to your instructor** to discuss possible accomodations.
> **NOTE**: McBurney accomodations: please **email your instructor** a proposed policy for the semester if the general flexibility does not fit your needs (we can discuss again if your situation changes during the semester)
