20 End-of-Semester Deadlines

Copies of all term papers, essay, or other written work (including written work for AYF & SLI courses) must be turned in to the AYF Program Center no later than 14 days after the end of classes each semester. Please submit your written work in electronic form (Word.doc, Word.docx, PDF, RTF, or Open Office documents are accepted). If the course does not require a Hausarbeit or other written work, you must submit a signed exam report form (“Klausurbericht”) to the AYF Program Center no later than 14 days after the end of the semester.

Any late submissions of written work or exam reports require approval in writing by the Academic Director. With approval from the Academic Director and assuming that you are not in violation of the course policies for the course for which you are requesting an extension, you will carry a “PG” notation (grade is still possible) on your transcript. If AYF does not have a copy of your written work on file, “NIA” (no information available) or “PG” (grade is still possible) will be recorded on your transcript. “NIA” and “PG” notations will automatically turn into a failing grade (“F” or “E”) by July 1 for the Wintersemester and November 15 for the Sommersemester.

Roughly three months after the end of the semester (i.e., July 1 for the Wintersemester and November 15 for the Sommersemester), you must have completed all coursework (including approved late work and/or make-up exams, “Nachklausuren”). If you previously obtained an extension in writing from the Academic Director and completed and submitted all written work for the course by the deadline, your “PG” notation will be transformed into a “GNYP” (grade not yet posted) if AYF has not yet received the grade from the instructor. If you do not meet this deadline, you will automatically receive a failing grade (“F” or “E”) at your home institution without further warning.
