Late work may be accepted with a request for extension which was submitted up to 48 hours before the due date. To request an extension, send me an email at fjohn3@unl.huskers.edu. Include EXTENSION REQUEST in your subject. If you ask before the due date I will almost certainly say yes, so just ask!
I think this policy is great! It gives ample amount of time to get your work done, and it doesn't take much effort to send an email!
