'''Finding.''' Per the tracker's evidence, students documented that 14 to 19 assignments were posted and due the same evening they were notified, having found out only just before class opened, leaving only hours to complete them.

'''Evidence.''' Anonymous member 787 (July 10, 2025); Anonymous member (July 15, 2025) asking why an announcement gives students nearly 15 assignments the day before they are due. (Source Group: Facebook Group Export (Volume 7).)

'''Reported statement.''' Anonymous members reported that clinical started with 14 to 19 assignments due that same evening, and that they had found out about the assignments only just before class opened.

'''Standards.''' ACEN Standard 4 (assignment requirements must be clearly communicated and reasonably scheduled); 34 C.F.R. 600.2 (reasonable approximation of work). Lead: {{HU|HU-096}}.

'''Impact.''' Same-day posting with hours of notice prevents students, especially those with jobs, from planning their workload and sets them up to miss assignments through no fault of their own.

'''Notes.''' Sub-issue of {{HU|HU-096}} (lead). Split 2026-06-06.
