Dear Professor,

According to our records, there is a final paper associated with your course due this semester. If you have already informed the Registrar's Office of your final paper's due date, thank you. If you are not teaching a paper course, please notify the Registrar's Office.

The first part of this email contains information on final paper assignments. The second part is a form to list your paper's due date and delivery information. Please complete your form and return it to the Registrar's Office by Wednesday, April 22, 2015.  You may submit your forms by hard copy, email, or fax (202- 662-9235).

When students submit papers to the Registrar's Office:

*         Papers may be submitted to the Registrar's Office in two ways: either through the Georgetown Law Online Paper/Exam Management System (http://www.law.georgetown.edu/exams<http://www.law.georgetown.edu/exams/>/) or by hard copy to the Office of the Registrar.

*         If students have difficulty submitting to the Online Paper/Exam Management System, they may email their paper to [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>. However, Exam Dropbox should be used as a backup to the Exam/Paper Management System and not as an alternative way to submit a paper.

*         All students should write their names on their final papers. Unlike exams, there is no anonymity requirement for final papers..

*         The Registrar's Office will print and distribute final papers to you. If you plan to print them at home or prefer digital copies to conserve paper, please indicate this when filling out the form below.

*         If there is more than one professor teaching and each professor would like a copy of the paper, please provide us with that information under "Special Delivery Instructions" on the form below.

When students submit papers directly to the professor:

*         Students must still submit a copy of that paper to the Registrar's Office by the due date, including any extensions.

*         Preliminary assignments such as outlines, drafts, etc., do not need to be submitted to the Registrar's Office.  Please notify the Registrar's Office if you require your students to submit outlines and drafts to the Office, including due dates and any special delivery instructions.

You may elect to have students submit their papers earlier than May 12, 2015 for non-graduating students or April 27, 2015 for graduating students. Please give the students and our office as much notice as possible.

EXTENSIONS

You may grant a blanket extension to the entire class or an individual student.

*         Maximum paper extension due date -- Monday, June 15, 2015 by 5pm.

*         Paper extension grades due (non-graduating students only) -- Monday, July 6, 2015 by 5pm.

NOTE: While graduating students may be granted an extension past April 27, grades for graduating students papers must be submitted to the Registrar's Office by the standard grade due date (12 pm on May 15, 2015) in order for the student to graduate on time.

PAPER EXTENSION POLICY

Please be aware that we inform students that due dates for papers are as firm as the dates of exams.  Individual extensions up to the maximum allowable days set by the Registrar may be granted by the professor, provided the student submits an Individual Paper Extension Form to the Office of the Registrar.  The Form, available at the Office of the Registrar and online at http://www.law.georgetown.edu/campus-services/registrar/exams-papers-grades/papers.cfm, must be signed by the professor or the student must obtain written approval from the professor by email and must include all of the information requested on the form.  Extensions for more than the maximum are rare and may not be granted solely by the professor.  Any request for an extension beyond the maximum is effective only upon review and approval of the Individual Extension Form by the Associate Dean for the J.D. Program.  In no instance will an extension be granted beyond the April 15 for papers due the preceding Fall semester, August 15 for papers due the preceding Spring semester, or October 15 for papers due the preceding Summer session.

A student requesting a paper extension must submit a "Request for Individual Extension" form, approved by you, before the original paper due date.  This form is available at the Office of the Registrar or online at http://www.law.georgtown.edu/campus-services/registrar/exams-papers-grades/papers.cfm.  The completed form must be submitted in person to the Office of the Registrar (315 McDonough Hall) or by fax to 202-662-9235.  Professors may also submit to our office an e-mail approval of the extension to [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>.

If a student fails to submit a final paper by the due date (including any extension), the student will receive an AF for the seminar.  The AF will be reflected on the student's transcript and factored into the student's cumulative grade point average as an earned F.
