Laboratory Attendance Policy

Any student who misses attending more than two laboratory meetings during the term without making them up shall be automatically assigned the letter grade of "NC" by his/her lecture instructor at the time of assigning grades. Missed labs may be made up only during the week in which they are originally offered, only in another regularly scheduled laboratory class, and only if space permits. "Attending a lab" means that the student was present at the time that the instructor began the lab and stayed until the instructor dismissed the lab. Exceptions to this policy shall be considered only by written petition to the General Biology Laboratory Coordinator, currently Dr. Christianson.
