6 Deadlines and Assignments Policies
Deadlines matter. In a professional workplace, like in your internship and future jobs, you will be expected to complete work well, on time, and in full. This can also mean leaving enough time for edits, revisions, and feedback prior to the actual deadline. Unexpected situations happen and we are aware of that. In the workplace you are expected to meet deadlines or give advanced notice if you need a little more time.
To practice expectations for a professional workplace, we have a few policies and expectations about submitting LHSI assignments and attending program events. We are here to help you succeed in balancing your time and priorities to meet professional workplace expectations.
Expectations
- Prepare: Assignment deadlines are clearly noted on each assignment and can also be viewed in the syllabus section of Canvas. Modules are divided into months and we expect that you will review each module at the beginning of the month and mark down time on your calendar to complete the assignments or activities.
- Plan: Read each assignment for an estimate of how long to set aside for the assignment or anything else you may need to consider to best plan your time.
- Events: You will sign up for and attend all program events. Times and dates and shared well in advance of the events. If the times available do not work, you should immediately contact the person in charge of the event to arrange a different time.
Policies
- Extensions: If you realize that you might need an extension, you must tell your ambassador at least 48 hours prior to the deadline and give them the date you expect to have it completed. This date should be within a week of the actual deadline.
- Program event rescheduling: It is your responsibility to contact the person in charge of the event to reschedule if you are unable to attend on the scheduled dates. You should reach out no later than the week before the event. All rescheduled times should be the same week as the other options so that you do not fall behind.
- Submissions: If you do not submit an assignment by the deadline, or ask for an extension and do not submit by the date of your extension, you will be marked as late on the rubric. You will gain the points back by following the policy for late submissions.
- Late submissions: If you are marked as late, you will be required to:
- First late submission: Come to our office during drop-in hours or make an appointment with an ambassador to complete the assignment the week after the deadline.
- Second late submission: Complete the assignment in our office the week after the deadline. Visit the Bepko Learning Center for drop-in success coaching to work on time and priority management.
- Third late submission: Complete the assignment in our office the week after the deadline. Meet with Daniel to discuss strategies to submit assignments on time, and discuss if you have time for the internship and other responsibilities.
- Interns with missing or late assignments who do not follow the late submissions policies may be dismissed from the program or may not receive the Record.
