## Course Policies

### Homework and practice problems

What are the homework tasks for this course?

* Assignments
* Group Milestones

Do I need to manually submit coursework to CodePath?

#### What happens if I miss a submission?
* Missed submissions automatically trigger a 48-hour extension until they are used up, therefore, requesting for it is not needed anymore. You are allowed one deadline extension only for the whole duration of the program.

#### Can I skip homework entirely?
* No, all coursework submissions are required and need to be submitted within the deadline.
* Exceeding the allowed missing/late/incomplete submissions will result to your grades not being recorded anymore and not getting any course completion certificat.
* If you need additional time extension due to extenuating circumstance, email support@codepath.org.

#### I received a missing submission email by mistake.
* This usually happens because of the following reason:
    * The submission could not be found.
    * You did not click on the Submit button on the assignments that need manual submission.
    * The account is incorrectly mapped.
* Reply to the email and let us know and we’ll look into it further.

#### I received an email saying that my submission is incomplete. What does this mean?
* This means that you were not able to complete all the required tasks by the deadline.
* You will need to complete the remainder by the extension deadline.

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 1px solid transparent; border-color: transparent; margin-bottom: 10px; border-radius:4px;  color: #8a6d3b; background-color: #fcf8e3; border-color: #fcf8e3;"> 📌 You are  allowed to have ONE missing/late/incomplete assignment for the entire semester, no questions asked. </div>

#### I’m stuck, how can I ask for help?
* Post your question on the help channel and tag the TA group `@remote-and102-s1-tas / @remote-and102-s2-tas`.

### Attendance and absences
* You are allowed 3 absences for the duration of the course.
* You are expected to actively attend and participate in each session. We check attendance multiple times throughout a class session and may mark you as absent if you are missing for the majority of a session.
* If you have an extenuating circumstance regarding attendance, email support@codepath.org as soon as possible.
#### What happens when I miss a session?
* You will receive an email acknowledging your absence
* You will still be required to complete the assignment by the deadline.
* The session recording will be posted so that you can watch them at your own time.

#### I was marked absent by mistake. What do I do?
* This typically happens if you join the session using a mobile device. To make sure this doesn’t happen:
    * Use a laptop/PC device
    * Register using the email used in your CodePath application
* If you think your attendance was marked in error, let us know by replying to the email acknowledging your absence. 
## General admissions
#### Will I receive a certificate of completion?
* Yes, as long as you did not exceed the allowed absences and missing/late submissions and have a final score of 60% and above. We’ll send out digital certificates a week after the course wraps up.
#### Does my access to the course have an expiry?
* No, you will continue to have lifetime access to this course as long as you use the same github account associated with your CodePath application.
### Withdrawing from the program
#### How can I withdraw from the program?
* You can do this from your course portal. At the top right you will find Quick Actions, where you can select Withdraw from course from the drop-down.
#### What happens when I get withdrawn from the program?
* You will be given observer access to the course. Some key elements on how this is different from participating in the actual class:
    * You will continue to have access to the course materials online but are not part of a class
    * You will not have access to the Slack channels
    * You will not get any course completion certificate
    * No due dates or any expectations of observers imposed by us
