Deadlines
Remember to meet the deadlines: both official internal deadlines (for IA, EE, TOK Essay, TOK Exhibition and other externally assessed or moderated work) and deadlines within each subject (course assignments, tests, and presentations) must be met. Deadlines can also be found in ManageBac calendar.
- If you cannot meet a set deadline, you must contact the teacher in question at least 3 school days BEFORE the deadline. If you do not do so, the teacher has the right to not accept your work. This includes class assignments (written and oral) and official IB assignments.
- If you miss the official internal deadline of an IB coursework at draft stage, you will not be registered for your IB final examinations.
- If you miss the official internal deadline of a final IB coursework, your first draft will be submitted to the IBO.
