POLICIES

Attendance and Excessive Absence Policy:

Attendance is required at all labs. All students are expected to attend the lab section in which they are officially enrolled.  There will be no make-up labs (see “excused absence policy” below). Any student who will miss lab due to a school-sponsored event must make arrangements to complete the lab material, including miniquizzes, quizzes, or exams, before departing for the scheduled event. Students must comply with the Excessive Absence policy linked here.

 

Excused Absence Policy:

The University has a policy on excused absences related to sponsored/sanctioned activities and events. The policy is available for review online: http://bit.ly/2thGRjo. Students participating in such activities and events are expected to review this policy and comply with it. As long as appropriate prior notification is given according to this policy, students and faculty reach a mutual agreement concerning missed assignments, and students complete the work in question, faculty shall not penalize a student for missing a class or exam when they were granted an excused absences from the university. Any questions concerning the policy may be referred to the course instructor who may refer the question to the athletic director, student activities director, or academic affairs for response.

Illnesses:  If a student shows any symptoms of illness, they should not come to lab until they are at least 24 hours symptom-free.  If the student is going to miss lab due to illness, they must contact both the instructor and lab coordinator before lab in order for this to be considered an excused absence.  If notice is given after the lab has already started, the student must provide documentation showing that they were really too ill to attend lab or even to notify the instructor beforehand in order for the absence to be considered "excused". 

Since the lowest Quiz & Miniquiz scores are dropped at the end of the semester, students who miss a lab (i.e., the student did not make prior arrangments to make up missed assignments ahead of time) will receive a “0” for the first missed Quiz & Miniquiz and will not be given an opportunity to make these up – they will count as the dropped grade for each.  If a student has additional absences, if they are deemed “excused” (e.g., due to illness), then the student may be given a chance to make up these missed assignments for points, even though there are no make-up labs. In such cases, students should arrange to make up the missed assignments within 1 week.  Failure to do so may result in a ‘0’. In some cases of excused absences, students may be allowed to join another lab during the same week, but it is the responsibility of the student to contact the instructor(s).  Emergencies will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

 

Assignment & Exam Policies:

A student who arrives late may be refused permission to take the Quizzes or Exams.  There will be no make-up Miniquizzes, Quizzes or Exams for unexcused absences.  Students who have an excused absence for a school-sponsored event must make arrangements to complete assignments prior to the absence.  The format of any Quiz, Miniquiz, or Lab Exams taken outside of the normally scheduled times may be different from the format listed above.  This could include, but is not limited to, fill-in, matching, short answer, or essay questions. Emergencies will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
