• Assignments submitted after the due date/time
  will not be accepted and will receive a mark of
  zero, unless medical or other acceptable
  documentation is supplied.

• you could not be present on the due date, or
• some problem prevented you from working on the
  task for at least 50 of the time that you had to
  do it.
• In such exceptional cases, the weight of that
  assignment will be added to the weight of the
  mid-term test or final exam.

  the test for medical reasons, the weight will be
