How to Submit Written Assignments
Most Flexible Learning distance learning courses have a limit on how many lessons may be submitted per week. If you submit more than the allowed number, the excess assignments may be returned to you ungraded. Feedback on past assignments will help you in preparing future ones. On rare occasions, assignments have become lost for various reasons: you should make and retain a photocopy of each assignment before you submit it. Should an assignment be lost, you will be required to resubmit it.
Please note: Students must complete all assignments leading up to the examinations and final. If a student completes an examination or final before completing the required preceding coursework, the instructor will assign a failing grade for the missing assignments.
