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 program. 1. Students are responsible for being aware of test dates and times, as well as due dates and any special instructions for submitting assignments and projects, as supplied to the class by the Professor. 2. Students must write all tests at the specified times. Missed tests are awarded a mark of zero. If an extension or make-up opportunity is approved by the Professor, as outlined below (item #4), the mark of zero may be revised. 3. Students must submit/complete all assignments, in-class activities, and presentations by the scheduled due date. Missed assignments, in-class activities, and presentations are awarded a mark of zero. If an extension or make-up opportunity is approved by the Professor, as outlined below (item #4), the mark of zero may be revised. The following penalty applies to the late submission of written assignments: a. 10% per day for up to five business days* (excluding weekends and statutory holidays) b. a grade of zero is assigned for submissions more than five business days late (excluding weekends and statutory holidays) * Business days include any day that the college is open for business, whether the student has scheduled classes that day or not. 4. Students, who will miss a test, in-class activity, or assignment or fail to submit an assignment on time due to exceptional circumstances or reasons related to the grounds under the Ontario Human Rights Code, are required to notify their Professor in advance of the class, whenever possible. If an absence or conflict is unexpected, the student should notify their Professor as soon as they return to Sheridan**. A make-up test or modification to assignment due dates may be available for students who provide an acceptable explanation and/or documentation of their absence (e.g., a medical certificate). * * Students should try to provide documentation (where necessary) prior to the evaluation; however, the procedure cannot state that it must be received before the evaluation. For Human Rights Code grounds (http://www.ohrc.on.ca/en/ontario-human-rights-code), programs have an obligation to consider retroactive accommodation when necessary. a. All make-up tests are to be written at a time and place specified by the Professor upon the student's return to Sheridan. The Professor will provide the student with the established make-up test date, time, and location in writing five business days prior to the re-scheduled test. If the make-up test needs to be written in the Assessment Centre, it is the responsibility of the student to make the arrangements and inform the Professor in writing. Please follow the Assessment Centre requirements for booking a test date. Follow this link for further information :https://www.sheridancollege.ca/admissions/assessment-centre/makeup-tests b. Alternately, students may be given an opportunity to earn the associated marks by having a subsequent test count for the additional marks. c. Exceptional circumstances may result in a modification of the due dates for assignments. 5. Unless otherwise specified, assignments and projects must be submitted at the beginning of class. 6. Students must complete every assignment as an individual effort, unless the Professor specifies otherwise. 7. Since there may be instances of grade appeal or questions regarding the timely completion of assignments and/or extent of individual effort, etc., students are strongly advised 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. 8. There will be no resubmission of work unless this has been previously agreed to or suggested by the Professor.
