Deferred Exams
Deferred exams are granted when students miss a final exam for reasons considered by the
Science Department to be unavoidable. As with other missed exams, you must notify the
instructor within 24 hours of your absence from the final exam; if you know beforehand that you
will be unable to attend the final exam at the scheduled time, the instructor must be informed
immediately.

Attendance
It is essential that you maintain regular attendance. It is the responsibility of the student to be
appropriately prepared for all classes and laboratories. In the event that you are absent from a
particular lecture or laboratory, you must assume full responsibility for the material missed.
Punctuality
In order for all students to get the most out of each lecture, punctual attendance is mandatory.
Further to this end, we ask that you talk as little as possible with your classmates during the
lecture (unless, of course, you are directed to do so by the instructor). In addition, you must be
in the laboratory at least one or two minutes before the beginning of each laboratory period.
Students who are more than 20 minutes late for the laboratory will not be allowed to perform the
experiment.
Academic Honesty
All forms of student dishonesty are considered unacceptable. If students have clearly
used plagiarism or copied from other students a grade of zero will be given for the assignment or
exam; in instances of copying on assignments and reports, all students involved will be
assigned a zero. Cheating on final exams will result in a grade of F being assigned for the
course. Please see the College Calendar for a description of students’ rights and
responsibilities.
