Academic Regulation 6: Attendance, Course Work and Conduct
6.1 – Participation
and Conduct in Classes
Students must be registered in a class
to be eligible to attend or otherwise participate in lectures, laboratories,
tutorials, tests, and examinations associated with the class. Students are
expected to be, and at the discretion of the instructor, may be required to be
present at all lectures, laboratories, tutorials, tests, and examinations in
their classes and to submit essays,
exercises, reports, and laboratory work at the prescribed times. Student
conduct in lectures, laboratories, tutorials, tests and examinations must
conform to the Code of Conduct. Students whose conduct does not conform to the
Code of Conduct may be issued a warning in writing from the class instructor.
Subsequent failure to conform to the Code of Conduct may result in a written requirement
to withdraw from the class (see Academic Regulation 17).
6.2 – Submission
of Course Work
For purposes of evaluation, assignments
and other course work must be submitted in a legible form. Instructors may
require that work be in typewritten form, but must state this at the outset of
the class. A student who foresees difficulty meeting this requirement must
inform the instructor immediately. An instructor may require, in addition, the
submission of the original manuscript and/or written notes.
6.3 – Absence and Missed
Course Work
A student who claims illness or
compassionate grounds as reason for missing lectures, laboratory work, or
assignments is responsible for making alternative arrangements with the
instructors concerned for extensions or other accommodation. Though medical or
other supporting documentation may not be required by the instructor, the
student should be prepared to show relevant documentation should the instructor
deem it necessary.
If there is a significant effect on attendance or academic performance such that the student may wish to request an incomplete grade, Aegrotat or Credit Standing, the student is responsible for obtaining appropriate documentation at the time of treatment. See Academic Regulation 10 for further information about Aegrotat and Credit Standing. Information about appeals to the Associate Deans (Studies) for Aegrotat or Credit Standing can be found in Appeal of Academic Decisions, Section 3.
