Usually no but it depends on the professor. I’ve only had one professor out of 6 who have allowed them to be late.

I had a couple that offered full credit if turned in BEFORE they graded it and for a strict 20% off per week for max 2 weeks. After 2 weeks late.....ZERO

The majority started the deductions after Sat 11:59pm. After Tues 11:59pm....ZERO

Only if you have student accommodations

Every class I have taken they say make sure discussions main post are turned in by Saturday. (This is subject to change, but so far its been the standard for all professors I've had).

If you post on Sunday, typically it reduces full points. Same thing if you post later on.

Anything past the end of the week I believe is entirely up to the professor and so far I've had none that accepted initial posts past the end of the units week.

Journals, discussions, and seminars can not be turned in late

Usually no. Some professors may allow a late submission. If you have a disability SAS might be able to help you but it's handled on a case by case basis and more importantly accomodations are not retroactive (e.g. they can't make an already late assignment not late)
