If a student is absent under extenuating circumstances, special arrangements can be made to make up work. Tutorial days are set for Wednesday.
-
Academic honesty- Receiving or giving information for an assignment is cheating and when caught in the act students will not receive credit nor receive the opportunity for a chance of make-up. Plagiarism is not acceptable: If a student takes information from the Internet or any printed resources without a citation, it is considered plagiarism and will result in a failing grade.
