<p>Would turning in my essay late have a drastically negative effect? It's due postmarked the 15th, but post offices are closed the 15th since it's a federal holiday. :(</p>
<p>I think many students are hoping that a postmark of the 16th will do, since the 15th has no mail service. IF you wanted to be absolutely sure you could fed-ex or UPS the letter on the 15th - those services are still available.</p>
<p>do they allow scanned and emailed essays?</p>
<p>yes you can email.</p>
