May 5th- Extra Credit Deadline
Get ‘extra credit’ by finishing early. This will allow time for any problems to be fixed and to avoid ‘unavoidable’ problems like servers being down, blackouts and natural disasters.
May 8th- 12pm (noon)- FINAL Deadline
After noon on the 8th, you will not be able to fix your site or upload any files. Oracle will close the server and there will be NO way to make ANY changes. AT ALL. PERIOD. That’s NOON on Friday, May 8th. There is NOTHING that can be fixed after that point. Got it?
(Now you understand why we made the “Extra Credit Deadline”!)

Nothing like being down to the wire to make an announcement like this!!
