POLICY STATEMENTS College Policies: The following statements are selected from Centennial College policies approved by the Board of Governors. Student Responsibilities Students are expected to know the contents of the course outline and to discuss with the professor any areas where clarification is required. Students should keep the course outlines for all courses taken at Centennial College. These may be used to apply to transfer of credit to other educational institutions. A fee may be charged for additional or replacement copies. Other Policies: Students should familiarize themselves with all College Policies that cover students rights, responsibilities, and the Academic Appeal process. For further information consult the Academic Matters Section in the Full-Time and Continuing Education Calendars. The Academic Appeal Application form is available from any Enrolment Services (Registrar) Office. Proof of Student Status Students are obliged to produce official photo identification at any time during the semester when requested to do so by any professor. (The official piece is the Centennial Student Card.) Continuing Education students do not have Centennial Student Cards, and so they may use other forms of photo identification, such as a drivers license, health card, or other governmentissued photo identification. Final Examinations When writing a test or examination, students must put their official photo-ID cards in full view, for review by the invigilator. Students who do not have official photo-ID will be permitted to write the examination with a substitute photo-ID, but they will be required to produce photo-ID at the program or department office within 24 hours or the next business day following the examination, or else the examination results will be void. Faculty Consultation Professors are available to see students outside of class time. Students can contact professors via voice mail, email, or through their program or department office. Information regarding how to contact teachers will be provided at the beginning of the course and is also available in the program or department office. Human Rights Statement It is the policy of the College that all programs will strive for a learning, teaching, and working environment that promotes inclusion, understanding and respect for all students and employees, consistent with the Ontario Human Rights Code and the Centennial College's Statement of Diversity.

Course Policies: Testing a) b) There will be term tests and a comprehensive final examination. No additional time will be allowed for any student who comes late to any test or the final examination. No student will be allowed to leave during the first half-hour of any test or the final examination. Unless otherwise stated, no written or other aids may be used during the tests or the final examination. Any student who is found using or having used unauthorized aids will be given a mark of zero for that test or final examination. Furthermore, a final grade of F may be given in this course. Every incidence of cheating will be reported to the program Chair. There will be no rewrites of term tests. If a particular test cannot be written because of documented medical or compassionate reasons, the weight of the final exam will be proportionally increased. A mark of zero will be recorded in cases where no reason acceptable to the professor is provided. In the case of a missed final exam, the student will be eligible to write a make-up exam if proper documentation is provided; otherwise, a mark of zero will be recorded. All classroom instruction will be based on the Sharp EL-520. During tests and examinations, students may use an equivalent scientific calculator; however, programmable and/or graphing calculators are prohibited. No other electronic devices will be permitted.

e) f)

g)

Attendance The student is expected to attend all classes and be punctual. The student is responsible for all classes missed. In particular, a student who misses a class is responsible for obtaining the notes and any homework assignments from a classmate who was in attendance. Probation Policy The School of Engineering Technology and Applied Science academic probation/suspension policy will be applied. Test #1 Must-Pass Policy Any student who does not pass Test #1 will be transferred immediately to a late-start MATH178. After passing MATH178, the student will take MATH179 in the next semester. Students must pass both MATH178 and MATH179 for equivalency to MATH170.

Final Examination Policy Students are obliged to produce official photo identification at any time during the semester when requested to do so by any professor. The official piece for full-time students is the Centennial Student Card. Continuing Education students do not have Centennial Student Cards, and so may use other forms of photo identification, such as a drivers license. Cellular phones, personal audio equipment and all other electronic communication devices must be turned off and out of sight during any quiz, test or examination. Students are expected to arrive at the examination site on time. No student will be admitted more than thirty (30) minutes after the examination has commenced. Those arriving later will be directed to the Mathematics Department Office (D3-18 at Progress or 338 at HP) to petition for alternative arrangements. No student may leave within the first thirty (30) minutes after the examination has commenced. In addition to obtaining a final mark of at least 50%, the student must also obtain a mark of at least 50% on the final examination in order to earn a passing grade in the course. Supplemental Examination Policy Students who fail this course because they failed the final examination but have an overall average of at least 50%, will be permitted to write one supplemental examination. This supplemental examination should normally occur within two weeks after the final grades are posted. The students average cannot improve as a result of the supplemental examination. Students who pass this examination will have their grade changed from an F to the grade corresponding to their original average. Eligibility to write a supplemental examination will be communicated via e-mail, using myCentennial. Students are responsible for checking their myCentennial e-mail to determine if they are eligible.
