School, Department, and Program Policies

Centennial College policies apply to staff, faculty and students.

The following additional guidelines are important for students in the program.

• Attendance at all laboratory and field sessions is mandatory
• Students require the laboratory kit
• Students must have a copy of the appropriate lab protocol(s) to enter the laboratory each week.
• Students must complete laboratory monitoring duty to the satisfaction of the professor and lab technologist.

Assignments

An assignment is to be submitted before, or on the specified date and time as determined by the professor.

If a student cannot submit an assignment on the due date for any reason, he/she must notify the professor in advance and request an extension giving reasons for the delay. If an extension is not granted, the student is expected to have the assignment completed by the specified date. Unless otherwise stated a late penalty of 10% per day will be applied, and after the fifth day the assignment will not be accepted and a grade of zero will be applied.

In exceptional circumstances[1], if a student cannot submit an assignment on the date for any reason, they must notify the appropriate professor at least 24 hours in advance or as soon as possible and request an extension giving reasons for the delay. When an extension is granted, the student will receive full consideration for the assignment. Assignments with extensions are due at a specific date and time as arranged with the professor. Penalties will be applied to extended assignments. In certain instances, with late, makeup or remedial work, assignments may be marked as pass/fail (i.e. minimum/ maximum 60%) only.

Tests

Your myCard ID may be required when you write your tests.

Missed TestsIf students are unable to write an examination due to a medical problem or unforeseen family problems, they should immediately contact their professor or program Chair for advice.  In exceptional and well documented circumstances (e.g. unexpected family problems, serious illness, or death of a close family member), students should be able to write a make-up examination to replace an examination missed.

Assignment Drop Box

Assignments and quizzes may be delivered or required to be submitted in hardcopy or via electronic format, at the discretion of the professor.
