2.1聽聽College Policies
2.1.1听听滨厂贰笔
The 成人黑料 Institutional Student Evaluation Policy (ISEP) addresses all aspects of student evaluation including rights and obligations. This includes, among others, the College鈥檚 policy on Religious Holidays, Cheating and Plagiarism, Comprehensive Examination, Final Examinations, Course Outlines, and grading schemes. The policy also specifies some of the responsibilities of teachers toward their students.
Students have the responsibility of familiarizing themselves with the contents of ISEP. It is distributed to each student during Welcome Week, and is available in the library, in the office of the sector Deans and on our website on our ISEP page.
2.1.1.1聽聽 Policies on Religious Holidays
Teachers observing religious holidays must give students advance notice in course outlines and specify alternative arrangements for their classes when the holiday falls on a teaching day. Department Chairs must also be informed in advance regarding the particular arrangements.
Students who wish to observe religious holidays must inform each of their teachers in writing within the first two weeks of each semester of their intent to observe the holiday so that alternative arrangements convenient to both the student and the teacher can be made at the earliest opportunity. This written notice must be given even when the exact date of the holiday will not be known until later and must include dates that fall within the final examination period. Students who make such arrangements will not be required to attend classes or take examinations on the designated days, nor be penalized for their absence. It must be emphasized, however, that this College policy should not be interpreted to mean that a student can receive credit for work not performed. It is the student鈥檚 responsibility to fulfill the requirements of the alternative arrangement.
2.1.2聽聽聽ByLaw Concerning the Promotion of Student Success
This Bylaw includes certain additional requirements that full-time students will have to meet if they have failed courses. It is complementary to the provisions on standing and advancement included in the College鈥檚 ISEP; however, in the case of a conflict between the two, the application of this bylaw shall take precedence.
This bylaw shall apply to the full-time student who:
- fails more than one course in a given semester.
- fails half or more of his/her courses in a given semester.
- repeatedly fails courses from semester to semester.
More information on this bylaw is available on the College鈥檚 web site.
2.2聽聽Program Policies
2.2.1 Academic Standing
Students will have their status in the Science Program reviewed at the end of the winter term.
Day Students
To be in good standing and to register unconditionally in the Science Program:
- Students must pass at least four (4) of the Specific Education courses in the academic
year. - Students must pass at least four (4) General Education and/or remedial French and
English courses in the year*. (*This does not apply to students who have already completed their General Education requirements.) - Students admitted in January must pass at least four (4) courses in that semester, at least two (2) of which must be Specific Education courses.
Continuing Education Students
To be in good standing and to register unconditionally in the Science Program through Continuing Education:
- Students must register for, and maintain, a load of at least one (1) specific education course in a semester (unless all specific education courses have been completed).
- Students must pass at least two (2) Specific Education courses in the year.
- Students admitted in January must pass at least one (1) Specific Education course in that semester.
Advancement is contingent upon meeting the Academic Standing and Advancement policy of the college and the program. Students who do not satisfy the criteria of this Academic Standing and Advancement Policy will be expelled from the program and the college. The expelled student has the right to appeal the expulsion to the Academic Standing Appeals Committee.
Students not taking any courses in a semester must reapply to the College by the application deadline.
2.2.1.1 Profile Requirements
Enriched Science
In addition to meeting the standing policy for day students in the Science Program, Enriched Science students will have their status in the Enriched profile reviewed at the end of every term.
To be in good standing and to register unconditionally in Enriched Science:
- Students must maintain a full load of specific education courses, in each semester, as
determined by their profiles. - Students must maintain a minimum grade of 70% in each specific education and general education course in each term to remain in the profile, except for students enrolled in their first term of the program who may have one specific education course grade between 65-69%.
- Students must abide by the rules regarding participation in the seminars, as per the Science Student Handbook.
Students who fail to meet the requirements of Enriched Science will be transferred to the corresponding non-enriched profile, provided they satisfy the Science Program鈥檚 Standing and Advancement Policy.
In extenuating circumstances, the Enriched Science Coordinator(s) may recommend an exception to the Enriched Science profile Academic Standing and Advancement Policy to the Program Dean for approval.
2.2.2聽聽Attendance (Applicable to Science disciplines only)
Attendance at tests, quizzes, laboratories and final examinations is compulsory; it is the student鈥檚 responsibility to ensure this. Unjustified absence will result in an automatic grade of zero. Medical excuses for absence will only be considered when accompanied by a doctor鈥檚 note.聽 Non-medical reasons for absence must derive from totally unavoidable circumstances, and be justified in writing. Whenever possible, the teacher must be warned of any possible absence in advance.
2.2.3聽聽Final Examination Policies
To ensure equity across all sections of multi-teacher Mathematics/Science courses and all Mathematics/Science courses required for university admissions, each of these courses has a final examination prepared by the Course Committee.
2.2.4聽聽Safety Regulations
Course laboratory manuals will describe specific safety rules for the laboratory. The laboratory instructor will also brief students on the safety regulations governing the course.
Different types of materials/chemicals/organisms are used in the Biology and Chemistry laboratories, many of which can be hazardous (toxic, corrosive, etc.) if not handled properly. Consequently, the following safety rules are always in effect in these labs:

Violations of the safety regulations may lead to expulsion from the laboratory and even failure in the course.
