Laboratory:
The first laboratories begin Sept. 13-16. All students must have completed check in (seen the safety
video) before going to this laboratory. The laboratory component is compulsory for credit in CHME
103. Attendance is mandatory and no make-up labs are available. If a laboratory period is missed for
a valid reason, this experiment will not be counted towards the final mark. In all other cases, a mark
of zero will be assigned.
A student who misses more than one labs will not receive credit for the laboratory
component. Laboratory work accounts for 20% of the final grade in CHME 103.

and/or a laboratory coat will be required to rent these items from the chemical technicians.
