Resources for Coursework

Read below for information about policies and resources that are available for your coursework:

  • CSU Global Late Policy: All CSU Global students can use the late policy, which mainly applies to your Critical Thinking assignments. With the late policy, you are permitted a one-week (7 day) grace period to submit Critical Thinking assignments after the original due date without a penalty. Critical Thinking assignments submitted 8-14 days after the original due date will be accepted with a potential 10% grading penalty. The late policy does not extend beyond that last day of the term. If you are approved for an accommodation of Extended Time on Assignments, you can read on your Student Notification form how your accommodations work with the late policy.
  • CSU Global Incomplete Policy: The Incomplete Grade Contract allows for additional time after the end of the term (up to 4 weeks) to submit specific assignments from weeks 6-8.  To be eligible for an incomplete, you must have the potential to earn a passing grade in the course based on your work submitted in weeks 1-5 and potential points from assignments included in the incomplete request. To request an incomplete for a course, please contact your instructor directly before the end of the term. Accommodations do not impact eligibility or due dates for an incomplete.
