Submission of Course Work to Instructors
Students in Yale College are expected to take personal responsibility for the timely delivery to their instructors of all course work, including examinations, in the manner and format prescribed by the instructors. It is generally expected that the student will submit course work in person, either to the instructor or to a person explicitly designated by the instructor, such as a teaching fellow or an administrative assistant. Students who submit course work in a manner other than in person, directly to an appropriate individual (e.g., place it under a door or in a box in a hallway), do so at their own risk. Students who must use postal services to submit a course assignment, because they will be unavoidably absent from campus at the time an assignment is due, should ascertain in advance from the instructor the correct mailing address and use receipted mail services to establish the date of mailing.
Instructors are not required to accept course work sent over a computer network to their computer, printer, or electronic-mail account unless they have explicitly authorized such electronic submission in the syllabus for the course or have made a special arrangement with the student. Instructors may establish a deadline for electronic submission of a particular assignment different from the deadline for submission of the same assignment on paper.
