TEST AND ASSIGNMENT PROTOCOL  
 
To encourage behaviours that will help students to be successful in 
the workplace and to ensure that students receive credit for their 
individual work, the following rules apply to every course offered 
within the School of Community and Liberal Studies.              
1. The professor will specify in writing test dates and times and due 
   dates and any special instructions for submitting assignments and 
   projects. 
2. Students must write all tests at the specified times. 
3. Unless otherwise specified, assignments and projects must be  
   submitted at the beginning of class. 
4. Students must complete every assignment as an individual effort 
   unless the professor specifies otherwise.
5. Students are to keep, and make available to their professor, if 
   requested, a copy of all assignments and working notes until the 
   course grade has been finalized. 
6. There will be no resubmission of work unless this has been 
   previously agreed to or suggested by the professor. 
7. Students must submit all assignments in courses with practical lab 
   and field components in order to pass the course.
8. Missed tests, in-class activities, assignments and presentations 
   are awarded a mark of zero.  If an extension or make-up 
   opportunity is approved by the professor as outlined below, the 
   mark of zero may be revised by subsequent performance.  The   
   penalty for late submission of written assignments is a loss of 
   10% per day for up to five business days (excluding weekends and 
   statutory holidays), after which, a zero grade is assigned. 
   Business days include any day that the college is open for 
   business, whether or not the student has scheduled classes that 
   day.  
9. Students, who will miss a test or in-class activity or assignment 
   or fail to submit an assignment on time due to exceptional 
   circumstances, are required to notify their professor in advance 
   of the class.  A make-up test may be supplied for students who 
   provide an acceptable explanation of their absence and acceptable 
   documentation explaining their absence (e.g. medical certificate). 
   All make-up tests are to be written at a time and place specified 
   by the professor upon the student's return. Alternately, students 
   may be given an opportunity to earn the associated marks by having 
   a subsequent test count for the additional marks. Similarly, 
   exceptional circumstances may result in a modification of due 
   dates for assignments.

CHEATING POLICY
Cheating will not be tolerated!  Any attempt to achieve credit 
dishonestly will be dealt with as outlined in the Cheating policy in 
the Student Handbook.  Please become familiar with this policy.
