    * Lateness Policy:

    • If you have any questions or challenges or special learning needs, you need to contact Dr. Shie in advance to discuss your situation and a learning plan. At the same time, you have to reach out to NCCU resources and/or other relevant sources to support your situation and be able to request a letter of support.

    Without an excused absence, no late work will be accepted. From the time of the due date, students with an excused absence have 24 hours to turn in missing assignments unless otherwise arranged with the instructor.
