Evaluation and Grading System: Term Evaluation 60% Final Examination 40% Total 100% In consultation with the Chair or Dean, a faculty member or instructor may administer additional or alternative evaluations to fully assess the capability of a student. When writing a test or examination, students must put their official photo-ID cards in full view for review by the invigilator. Students who do not have official photo-ID will be permitted to write the examination with a substitute photo-ID, but they will be required to produce photo-ID at the program or department office within 24 hours or the next business day following the examination, or else the examination results will be void. Student Accommodation: All students have the right to study in an environment that is free from discrimination and/or harassment. It is College Policy to provide accommodation based on grounds defined in the Ontario Human Rights Code. Accommodation may include changes or modifications to standard practices. This document is available in alternative formats upon request. Please contact the originating department or school of study. Students with disabilities who require academic accommodations must register with the Centre for Student with Disabilities. Please see the Centre for Students with Disabilities for details. Students requiring accommodation based on human rights grounds should talk with their professors as early as possible. Details are available on the Centennial College website (www.centennialcollege.ca ). If students are unable to write an examination due to a medical problem or unforeseen family problems, they should immediately contact their professor or program Chair for advice. In exceptional and well documented circumstances (e.g. unexpected family problems, serious illness, or death of a close family member), students should be able to write a make-up examination to replace an examination missed. Use of Dictionaries: Dictionaries are not allowed during any quiz, test or examination

COURSE POLICIES Testing: a) b) There will be term tests and a comprehensive final examination. No additional time will be allowed for any student who comes late to any test or the final examination. No student will be allowed to leave during the first half-hour of any test or the final examination.

Unless otherwise stated, no written or other aids may be used during the tests or the final examination. Any student who is found using or having used unauthorized aids will be given a mark of zero for that test or final examination. Furthermore, a final grade of F may be given in this course. Every incidence of cheating will be reported to the Campus Inquiry Officer. There will be no rewrites of term tests. If a particular test cannot be written because of documented medical or compassionate reasons, the weight of the final exam will be proportionally increased. A mark of zero will be recorded in cases where no reason acceptable to the professor is provided. In the case of a missed final exam, the student will be eligible to write a make-up exam if proper documentation is provided; otherwise, a mark of zero will be recorded. All classroom instruction will be based on the Sharp EL-520. During tests and examinations, students may use an equivalent scientific calculator; however, programmable and/or graphing calculators are prohibited. No other electronic devices will be permitted.

e) f)

g)

Attendance: The student is expected to attend all classes and be punctual. The student is responsible for all classes missed. In particular, a student who misses a class is responsible for obtaining the notes and any homework assignments from a classmate who was in attendance.

Student Rights and Responsibilities Students should familiarize themselves with all College Policies that cover students rights and responsibilities. For more information on the following and other policies, please visit www.centennialcollege.ca/aboutus/respect or consult the Academic Matters Section in the fulltime and Continuing Education catalogues. Respect at Centennial At Centennial College, we are committed to providing a safe and respectful learning, teaching and working environment for all students, faculty and staff that promotes equity. Policies have been put in place to ensure that Centennial is a place that demonstrates respect and consistency with the Ontario Human Rights Code. All incidents of harassment, discrimination, bullying and violence will be addressed and responded to. As a college, we take the position that all forms of harassment, including personal harassment and bullying, must be stopped. Please refer to www.centennialcollege.ca/aboutus/respect and www.stopbullyingnow.ca . Academic Honesty Academic honesty is integral to the learning process and a necessary ingredient of academic integrity. Students have a responsibility to be aware of and comply with standards of academic conduct. Academic dishonesty includes cheating, plagiarism, and impersonation. All of these occur when the work of others is presented by a student as their own and/or without citing sources of information. Breaches of academic honesty will be investigated and if warranted appropriate remedies and penalties will be applied, which may include a failing grade on the assignment/course, suspension or expulsion from the college.

Grades Appeal Students and faculty have rights and responsibilities in the Grades Appeal process. Students who need to appeal a grade should consult the Grades Appeal policy and procedures. Progression and Academic Standing Students are expected to meet the academic standards of their School or program. The academic standing of each Centennial student is monitored during as well as at the end of each semester. Any student not demonstrating satisfactory progress will be informed of his/her standing in the College and will receive academic advising within their School. Unsatisfactory academic performance may result in conditional academic standing, probation or suspension. Faculty Support Professors are available to see students outside of class time. Students can contact professors via voice mail, email, or through their program or department office. Information regarding how to contact teachers will be provided at the beginning of the course and is also available in the program or department office. Campus Safety Students must produce official photo identification at any time during the semester when requested to do so by any college staff.
