You must make prior arrangements for submitting late assignments and receive approval. Even then, points may be deducted depending upon the circumstances. No extra credit assignments are permitted for any reason.
All of your course requirements are graded using points. At the end of the course, the points are converted to a letter grade using the scale in the table below.
| Letter Grade | Points | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| A | 900–1,000 | 90% to 100% |
| B | 800–899 | 80% to 89% |
| C | 700–799 | 70% to 79% |
| D | 600–699 | 60% to 69% |
| F | 599 and below | Below 60% |
To earn full credit for an assignment, you are required to submit or complete assignments by 11:59 p.m. MT on the due date or e-mail the instructor by the due date about your inability to submit the assignment. You will then have one week to complete the assignment. If you fail to notify the instructor, it is at the instructor's discretion to accept the late work.
Any late work will be graded subject to the instructor's discretion and a point deduction of 2% per day from the grade achieved may be imposed. You are allowed one non-emergency related late work submission per course within a single term and only after communicating directly with the classroom teacher.
No late submissions will be permitted beyond the end of the course unless arrangements have been made with your instructor and you will be taking an "incomplete" in the class. All incomplete work must be completed within two weeks of the end of the term. No work will be accepted that is more than one week late unless you have made arrangements with the instructor. Final exam extensions may only be granted by the College.
Emergencies and Extenuating Circumstances: If there is an extenuating circumstance that prevents you from completing assignments, you must contact the instructor to make alternative arrangements. E-mail your instructor the information about your emergency and request approval to make up the assignment, lab, quiz, or exam. Threaded discussions may not be made up.
Active communication is the key to overcoming any hurdles you may encounter during the term. It is your responsibility to inform your instructor of extenuating circumstances that might prevent you from completing work by the assigned deadline. In those situations, your instructor will work with you to come up with a mutually acceptable alternative. However, prior notification does not automatically result in a waiver of the late penalties.
Please note that evaluation of extenuating circumstances is at the discretion of your instructor and documentation may be required. Examples of extenuating circumstances may include but are not limited to: personal/family member hospitalization, death in the family, weather/environmental evacuation due to fire/hurricane, eCollege server outages or disruptions in service, or active military assignment where internet connectivity is unavailable for a limited time period.
Computer-related issues and Internet connectivity issues are not considered extenuating circumstances.
All submissions are considered final and no resubmissions will be permitted unless they are solely for the purpose of additional feedback and pointers.
For on-ground classes, please see the Carrington College catalog for the late work policy.
Ensuring academic integrity is an educational objective taken very seriously. Based on respect for individual academic achievement, each student and faculty member commits to being a part of a community of scholarship that prides itself on honesty and integrity.
Students agree that, by taking this course, all required papers may be subject to submission for textual similarity review to Turnitin.com for the detection of plagiarism. All submitted papers will be included as source documents in the Turnitin.com reference database solely for the purpose of detecting plagiarism of such papers. Use of the Turnitin.com service is subject to the Terms and Conditions of Use posted on the Turnitin.com site.
Academic and/or professional misconduct is subject to disciplinary action, including being placed on probation, failing a graded course component, failing a course, or being dismissed. Student academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to, cheating on examinations, plagiarism, bribery, falsification of student records, and improper attempts to influence instructors or school officials. For online courses, this includes submitting others' work, entering discussion threads under false pretenses, or not complying with instructor or Online Educational Center authorship.
Carrington College utilizes the American Psychological Association style of citation. All student work must be submitted in proper APA format for full credit.

Participation is earned in an online class by responding to discussion questions each week. Each week contains a discussion board, which is designed to explore the contents of the class and develop your collaborative skills. Discussions are graded upon:
| Quality Measurement |
|---|
High |
Your contributions to each topic indicate your mastery of the materials assigned. Your responses might integrate multiple views and/or show value as a seed for reflection for other participants' responses to the thread. You provide evidence that you are reading the assigned materials and other student postings and are responding accordingly, bringing out interesting interpretations. You know the facts and are able to analyze them and handle conceptual ideas. Examples of high quality posts include:
|
Medium |
You have meaningful interaction with other participants' postings. Posts that state "I agree" or "I disagree" include an explanation of what is disagreed or agreed upon and why, or they introduce an argument that adds to the discussion. However, you may have rambling, lengthy posts that show no sign of having been re-read and refined before posting, and your writing suffers lack of clarity and comprehension. Your posts demonstrate some confidence with the materials but may be just a bit off target in one area or another. |
Low |
You will receive little credit in the week's discussion if you just show up and make trivial comments, without adding any new thought to the discussion. At the low end of the spectrum, not participating gets a zero. If you are not in the discussion, you do not earn any points. |
It is expected that you use correct grammar and punctuation in your Discussion posts. In addition, please avoid using text message speak (e.g. lol, rofl, brb).
Please be respectful of your fellow students and your professor. Remember, even an innocent remark in the online environment can be misconstrued. Therefore, proofread your responses carefully before you post them to make sure that others will not take them as personal attacks.
Finally, each week contains a non-graded Q&A forum. This is where you should be posting any questions or concerns related to the course. If you have a question or concern of a more personal nature, please email your professor.
Please be aware that your professor may have additional requirements.
In online classes, attendance and participation are not the same. Please note that attendance is tracked by Carrington College, whereas participation is graded by your instructor.
Attendance is monitored daily and is reviewed weekly. Remember that the online week begins on Monday and ends on Sunday. To be in attendance during a week, you must log in to your online class and post at least once on at least one day during every week. Deadlines for attendance are based on Mountain Time (MT).
Important points to remember about online attendance:
You may be placed on Attendance Warning and/or Probation if you fail to meet the attendance requirements. Sending assignments privately to your instructor does not make up for missed attendance. Faculty and administrative staff cannot excuse absences.
If you are not able to post to your online class for three or more consecutive days for any reason, then you are REQUIRED to contact your instructor. After three consecutive days of non-attendance, you will receive a "Please Respond" e-mail or letter. If you do not respond or log in within five days, then you may be terminated from the online program.
For on-ground classes, please see the Carrington College catalog for the attendance policy.
When are grades calculated, and how can I view my grades?
What should I do if a discrepancy is found with my grade?
