FTCC’s Evaluation Information on page 31, section 111-13.1 (5.b) of the Academic Procedures Manual has been updated with the following change:
Old text:
In general, there is a 10 percent penalty for each business day that an assignment or project is late. For example, if the maximum number of points you can earn on an assignment or project is 100 points, 10 points will be deducted from your grade for each business day your assignment or project is late. If your assignment is due on Tuesday and you submit on Wednesday, the highest possible grade you can earn is a “B”. With each additional day late, there is a 10 percent penalty. Assignments may be submitted no more than one week late without prior approval from instructor.

In general, there is a 10-point penalty for each business day that an assignment or project is late. For example, if the maximum number of points you can earn on an assignment or project is 100 points, 10 points will be deducted from your grade for each business day your assignment or project is late. If your assignment is due on Tuesday and you submit on Wednesday, the highest possible grade you can earn is a 90. With each additional day late, there is a 10-point reduction in the grade for this example. Assignments may be submitted no more than one week late without prior approval from instructor.
