Slip Days

Each assignment has a due date and a due time, which will be posted on the course web page. For some assignments we will use a system of "slip days" to give you some flexibility with the assignment deadlines. Each person starts the term with seven 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 one slip day.
• An assignment deadline can be pushed back at most three days.
• Partial slip days are not allowed. In other words, it is not possible to use part of a slip day to push a deadline back by a few hours.
• Slip days are not transferable from one student to another.

To use a slipday (if you have any remaining), submit your assignment after the deadline. The number of slipdays you have used (if any) will be automatically applied against your remaining total when the assignments are marked.

Assignments that are submitted late (with no slip days to cover them) will not be accepted and will receive a mark of 0%.
