We'll circulate a sign-up sheet shortly. Advance notice that you intend to miss a class session is always much appreciated. However, it is your responsibility to manage your class attendance and any marks associated with that. It is assumed that you have registered for this class because you are available to attend at the scheduled times. It will also be assumed that your decision about whether or not to attend a specific class session has been made with conscious consideration of the impact of attendance on your marks.
Assignments are due at the beginning of class on the assigned day.
Medical certificates do not provide an acceptable excuse for submitting your assignments late or missing multiple classes. It is expected that you will submit your assignment early if another activity requires your presence on the due date. DHL, Express Post and e-mail are acceptable if you have been called out of town. If you get in trouble, the best policy for you to follow is submit a sub-par assignment on time or bear the late penalty.
