Office Administration Academic Missed Work Procedure 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 Faculty. 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. Medical or compassionate grounds: All in-class assessments (tests, quizzes, exams, and assignments) are given once in class on their scheduled date. All out-of-class assessments are due on the date provided. Late submissions for out-of-class assessment will result in a deduction of 10% per day. After seven (7) calendar days, a grade of zero will be given. Exceptions may be made for a student who misses an assessment in a course for medical reasons or on compassionate grounds. In this case, students are required to present to their Professor documentation along with the completed request form posted in SLATE within seven (7) calendar days following the date of the missed assessment. Only assessments with a weighted value of 10% or more are covered by this procedure. Please see your Professor for missed assignments worth less than 10%. a) Once permission is given by the Professor for the student to submit an out-of-class assessment late without penalty, the student will be given a date by which the assessment must be submitted. If the student submits the assessment after that date, it will be considered late and 10% will be deducted per day. All out-of- class assessments must be submitted by the end of term, unless agreed upon in advance by the professor. b) All make-up tests will be written in the Assessment Centre at the expense of the student. All make-up tests must be written by the end of the term, unless agreed upon in advance by the professor. In extenuating circumstances or if documentation is incomplete, the Office Administration Missed Work Committee will decide if permission is granted for the student to complete a make-up test. The Office Administration Missed Work Committee is made up of faculty members. 3. Students who miss academic work must follow the academic missed work procedures outlined by Accessible Learning which may be different than those indicated above. 4. Other grounds under Ontario Human Rights Code: Students who will miss a test, in-class activity, or assignment or fail to submit an assignment on time due to reasons related to other grounds under the Ontario Human Rights Code (e.g., family status, creed), 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.
