STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES:
Students are expected to be aware of their academic responsibilities as outlined in the Students= Rights and Responsibilities section in the College Calendar. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
All forms of student dishonesty are considered unacceptable. MacEwan=s Academic Integrity policy (C1000) promotes honesty, fairness, respect, trust, and responsibility in all academic work. According to the policy, AAcademic dishonesty involves participating in acts by which a person fraudulently gains or intentionally attempts to gain an unfair academic advantage thereby compromising the integrity of the academic process@. All incidents of academic dishonesty are reported and recorded by the Office of Academic Integrity. The penalties and sanctions for academic dishonesty can include the following: a mark reduction up to zero on a piece of academic work, a grade reduction up to an F in the course, and suspension or expulsion (with transcript notation) from the University. Please see the academic policy at www.macewan.ca/academicintegrity for more details. You are responsible for understanding what constitutes academic dishonesty. PLAGIARISM IS DISHONEST, IT IS CHEATING AND IT EARNS AN IMMEDIATE GRADE OF
ZERO!!!
REGISTRATION STATUS:
You are responsible for your registration status at the University. Program Advisors may assist you with the process of registration, including adding or dropping of courses, but it is your responsibility to verify that these changes have been officially completed. This verification can be done at any time using Web Advisor. You should check your official registration status before the last date to officially withdraw from the course. WITHDRAWING FROM THE COURSE
If you stop attending class you must complete a Course Drop Form, have it signed by a Science Program Advisor, and submit it to the Registrar=s Office by the last day to withdraw as provided in the Academic Schedule in the University Calendar. Failure to officially withdraw will result in a grade being assigned based on course work completed. Late withdrawals are only allowed for exceptional circumstances. The last day to withdraw without academic penalty is Friday November 12, 2011 EXAMS:
Your student photo I.D. is required at exams. It is at the discretion of the instructor whether you will be allowed to write the exam if you arrive over 15 minutes after the exam has begun. You must remain in the exam room for at least 20 minutes from the time it commenced. Electronic equipment (iPods, cell phones, etc.), other than calculators that have been approved by the instructor, is not allowed to be used during exams. Permission to use the washroom during exams is at the discretion of the instructor and may require accompaniment. MISSED TERM EXAMS:
If you miss a term exam you must provide the instructor with an explanation within 24 hours or a grade of zero may be given. Notification may be provided through email, voice mail, or direct contact with the instructor. Official documentation as to why the exam was missed will be required to assess whether a make‐up exam or pro‐rating of the course grade will be allowed. Medical excuses must include the date you were examined, the specific dates for the period of the illness, a clear statement indicating that the severity of the illness prevented you from attending school or work, and the signature of the examining physician (a signature by office staff on behalf of the physician is not acceptable). Medical notes obtained subsequent to the date of the exam are generally not accepted. A grade of zero will be given if the instructor considers the excuse inappropriate or inadequately substantiated. DEFERRED FINAL EXAMS:
A deferred examination will be granted if a student misses the final lecture examination for reasons considered by the Science Department to be unavoidable (deferred examinations do not apply to term or laboratory examinations). An application for a deferred examination must be provided to the Science Department no later than two business days after the date of the missed final examination. Application forms are available from the Science Office and must be submitted with appropriate documentation. Students should advise the instructor prior to the examination if they know beforehand that they will be unable to attend the scheduled examination time. Deferred examinations are granted by a Chair in the Science Department, not by the course instructor. If you have any questions about the process please call the Science office at 780 497 5786.
