Slip Days Policies

Each assignment has a due date, which will be posted on the course web page. Assignments are due at noon on the specified date - this means that both your electronic submission and your hard copy submission must be completed by that time. We will use a system of "slip days" to give you some flexibility with the assignment deadlines. Each student starts the term with six slip days, which can be used to push back assignment deadlines. Slip days work as follows:

• Pushing an assignment deadline back by one day (24 hours) costs each person in a group one of their slip days.
  If one or more group members don't have enough slip days left, then the group can't slip.
• An assignment deadline can be pushed back at most 3 days.
• Partial slip days are not allowed, e.g., it is not possible to use part of a slip day to push a deadline back by 6 hours.
• Slip days are not transferable from one student to another.
• Slip days cannot be used to push an assignment past the last day of lectures. This effectively means that you cannot submit Assignment 3 any later than 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 5 and submitting at that time would require the use of 2 slip days (since partial slip days are not allowed).
