Kali did not submit the required nursing care plan for Nursing Process in a timely manner.  Submitted several days late although all students were notified of the date due through both verbal and written reminders.  Kali was also sent an email and reminded by her clinical instructor.  I did discuss this and although she should have received a "0" as per school policy, I did accept her plan allowing a maximum grade of "80".  Kali was made aware of this exception and reminded of the need to adhere to deadlines as directed.
