Class Participation and Examination

Students must participate in all scheduled educational activities; including but not limited to lectures, labs, small group discussion, as defined in the course syllabus.

Students must be aware that class participation policies may vary across courses. Course directors may take participation into account when determining grades, provided that a clear written statement on attendance policy and its impact on grading are given in the course syllabus. The University considers participation to be an essential component of professionalism. Absenteeism can adversely affect grades and may result in a failing grade.

Students are responsible for complying with the conditions set by the Course Directors and Director of the Pre-clinical Program for remediation of performance deficiencies. Students are expected to access their grades and be aware of their performance in exams and courses. Students who miss any exams for validated reasons are expected to attend the completion exams as outlined in the term schedule. Examinations will not be offered outside these dates. It is the responsibility of students to know the time and dates of all examinations and assignments.
