6. INSTRUCTORS POLICY ON LATE OR MISSED ASSIGNMENTS AND EXAMS
Assignments
All assignments are individual effort only, unless specified otherwise.
Assignments are due on the date and time specified. Late or emailed assignments are
NOT accepted and be given a mark of zero (0).
Make sure you complete each assignment well in advance of the due date as technical
difficulties (i.e., computer crash, etc.) will not be accepted as an excuse for missing the
due date.
It is recommended that students complete assignments in a Kwantlen computer lab
equipped with compatible operating systems, application software and Internet browsers.
No excuses will be accepted for missed, incomplete or late assignments.
No excuses will be accepted for late assignments.
Exams
The midterm exam and the final exam are to be written on the date scheduled. There will
be no opportunity to write exams on any other day!
No excuses will be accepted for non-attendance on schedule exam days.
If you have a chronic medical condition that may affect attendance, notify your instructor
at the beginning of the term so that an alternate arrangement may be made.
A mark of zero will be assigned for exams not written on the scheduled date.
All examinations are closed book. No additional resources (i.e., cell phones, Internet,
email, chatting tools, books, notes, etc.) are allowed.
Students must have KPU Student photo ID available during examination times. Failure
to show KPU Student Photo ID to the instructor will result in a mark of zero (0) for the
assessment. No other photo ID is accepted (passport, drivers license, etc.)
Students late for an assessment will NOT be provided with extra time.
Once the examination commences, there will not be any interaction between students.
If a student uses any non-allowed resources during an examination, or there is any
interaction between students, or if an examination paper is taken out of the classroom at
any time, the student will receive a mark of zero (0) for that examination.
CBSY 2205 S15,Fall 2014, MACHADO, Marcelo Page 6 of 7
Students are not permitted to leave the examination room during the scheduled time.
Once a student leaves the room, they will not be allowed into the room during the
remainder of the examination period; it is deemed the student has completed the exam.
In cases of cheating, the student will also receive zero (0) for the examination.
Further instructions regarding specific exam will be provided during class lectures prior
to examination day.
NOTE:
If you will be missing a graded evaluation due to medical reasons, you are required to produce a
note from a physician. The note must clearly state the reason and dates that you are unable to
satisfy course requirements. The University reserves the right to contact the physicians office,
not to discuss confidential specifics, but to verify that the note is legitimate. Accommodation
may require the student to write an exam in the Testing Centre and the invigilation fee
(currently $30) is the students responsibility.
Students must show a valid Kwantlen Student Photo ID at all exams. Failure to show valid
Kwantlen Student Photo ID at the time of the exam will result in a mark of zero for the exam.
