Assignments: Late assignments will not be accepted for marking. Assignments must be done on an individual basis.

Attendance: Attendance in lectures and labs is mandatory and recorded. In case of illness or other unavoidable cause of absence, the PTS student must communicate as soon as possible with his/her Instructor indicating the reason for the absence. Prolonged illness which causes the student to miss 20% of the lessons must have a BCIT medical certificate sent to the department. Excessive absence of 20% or more may result in failure or immediate withdrawal from the course or program.

Course Outline Changes: The material specified in the course outline may be changed by the instructor. If changes are required, they will be announced in class.
