GRADING

• Assignments are on time if they are submitted by 11:59 p.m. on the due date. • Ten percent will be subtracted from the mark of any assignment for each day that it is late. After five days, a mark of zero will be recorded. • Assignments and exams will be graded within one week of submission. • All exams require Microsoft Office 365 and an Internet connection. • If you miss an exam for health reasons, you are required to contact the instructor within two days of the exam. Verification of illness supported by a health professional’s note will be required. • Medical notes must include: the date you were examined by a doctor, a clear statement indicating that due to the severity of the illness you were unable to write the exam on the scheduled date, and the signature of the doctor. These medical notices must be received no later than two days following the exam date. Scanned or photographic copies of the medical notes are acceptable but must be followed by the original note. Exceptions will be made in the case of debilitating illnesses which preclude you from submitting the medical note, with proper documentation of the debilitating circumstances. • A deferred exam may be granted, at the discretion of the instructor and Department Chair. • The approved Deferred Examination Request Form, along with the exam will be forwarded to the Exam Services Centre in Room 6-224. Exam Services will work with the student to schedule the exam during the newly-arranged writing period. A $50 deferred exam fee will be applied to the student’s account after writing the exam. Ensure fees are paid via myStudentSystem or at the Office of the University Registrar following the exam. • Your university grade will be determined using the following scale: Letter Grade A+ A AB+ B BC+ C CD+ D F WF
