9. INSTRUCTOR/CLASSROOM POLICIES:
•
There are NO makeup exams given in this course. If you miss a midterm exam for a
legitimate reason, the weight of the missed exam will be put on the final exam. You must
contact me (preferably by e-mail) before the scheduled exam time and provide valid
documentation such as a doctor’s note. If I do not hear from you or if I do not receive valid
documentation of your absence, you will receive a zero for the missed midterm exam.
Final exams must be written on the designated date and time.
10. POLICY ON LATE ASSIGNMENTS:
•
•
Attendance at all labs is mandatory. If you miss a lab, you must phone the lab instructor
before the start of the lab. If the lab instructor is unavailable, leave a voicemail message,
including a phone number where you can be reached. As soon as you return to class, you
must provide valid documentation (e.g., doctor’s note, ICBC report) to the lab instructor.
Labs missed without valid documentation will result in a zero assigned for the lab. If you
miss three or more labs, the laboratory portion of this course will be considered
incomplete.
Marks will be deducted for late submission of lab reports. If your overall lab mark is less than
50% or if the laboratory portion of the course is incomplete, the maximum grade that you
can achieve in this course is a C–.

Arrears deadline
Withdrawing From a Course
Students may withdraw from open enrolment and most limited enrolment courses until the end of the
eighth week of a semester (or 50% of a course has elapsed). To officially withdraw from a course, a
student must do so by the published deadline. The deadline for withdrawing is published in each
semester's online Registration Guide and Timetable.
Non-attendance by itself does not constitute withdrawal from a course. A student is considered fully
registered until she or he has either withdrawn using the online registration system or submitted a
Course Status Change form (if registration in the program is not done online). A student who stops
attending class but does not withdraw by the deadline will be assigned a grade based on the work
completed in the course.
Before withdrawing from a course, recipients of student loans should confirm whether their status will
be affected by the withdrawal. To be eligible for a student loan, a student must be enrolled in at least
sixty (60) percent of a full course load for her or his program.
If a student withdraws during the second to eighth week of classes in a semester, the course(s) will
appear on the student's official transcript with a grade of "W". Withdrawals will not be permitted after
the end of the eighth week of classes.
A student who withdraws from all courses in a semester may need to apply for re-admission by the
application deadline in order to register again at the University. Students will remain eligible for up to
two additional consecutive semesters after applying and/or registering in an open access program.
12. STUDENT POLICIES - http://www.kpu.ca/policies
POLICY No. C.8 - PLAGIARISM AND CHEATING
Definitions
Cheating, which includes plagiarism, occurs where a student or group of students uses or attempts to
use, unauthorized aids, assistance, materials or methods. Cheating is a serious educational offense.
Plagiarism occurs where a student represents the work or ideas of another person as his or her own.
Page 7 of 8
Course Presentation
POLICY
Kwantlen Polytechnic University condemns all forms of cheating. If it is determined that a student has
cheated, the University will proceed with discipline in the following manner:
1. For most first offences, a grade of zero will be awarded for the affected assignment, test, paper,
analysis, etc.;
2. For most second offences, a failing grade will be assigned in the affected course;
3. Depending upon the circumstances surrounding a first or second offense, a more severe level of
discipline may be imposed by the University;
4. Where deemed appropriate in the circumstances, for any third offence, the matter must be
referred to the University Vice President Academic under Policy No. C.21 Student Conduct for the
assignment of discipline, which may include suspension or expulsion from the University.
5. Any student who contributes to an act of academic dishonesty by another student may face
disciplinary action.
The following information is provided to help students avoid plagiarism and cheating:
