Our automatic emails are friendly reminders to our students to help guide them and support them through their education journey. If you receive an email that your project has not been received, don’t panic. We are here to help.
If you recently turned in your project, but you still received this email, you can email office@bg5businessinsitute.com to see if they received your project.
If you have not turned in your project, but plan to turn it in soon that is okay. Every student automatically gets a 4 week extension to turn in their project and they do not need to communicate this with their instructor or institute administrator.
If you need more than an additional 4 weeks to complete your project, please contact your instructor. They will be happy to help you. The key here is communication. As long as you communicate with your instructor they should be able to accommodate you.
