Department Undergraduate Notes:

GRADING POLICY
Grading will be conducted in line with BPK grading policy (LINK). There will be no extensions granted for any evaluations except with a medical condition that is beyond your control. Additional work will not be considered in lieu of grading criteria as outlined.

ACADEMIC HONESTY AND STUDENT CONDUCT
Academic honesty is a condition of continued membership in the University community. Academic dishonesty, including plagiarism or any other form of cheating is subject to serious academic penalty. The University codes of student conduct and academic honesty are contained in policies T10.01 and T10.02 which are available in the Course Timetable and on the Web. A library tutorial on understanding and avoiding plagiarism is available.

MISSED EXAM POLICY
Students who miss examinations due to exceptional circumstances (such as serious illness or compassionate reasons) are required to obtain a physician's certificate (and/or a completed SFU Health Care Provider form), whereby the physician states that you were unable to attend the examination on the set date due to a medical condition beyond your control, or other supporting documents in order to obtain consideration in the course. Medical notes should state the limitations caused by your illness and their anticipated duration. Such documents must be filed with the Department Chair (via the Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology office) or Registrar within four calendar days of the date on which the examination was to have been written. Please see the procedure and expectations for work missed due to illness HERE. Exceptional circumstances must be approved by the Undergraduate Program Committee in order for a student to receive consideration.  Students must check the examination schedule when making course selections. Students are reminded that final examinations may be scheduled at any time during the examination period and that students should avoid making travel or employment arrangements for this period. In the event of a missed midterm or final examination the instructor reserves the right to implement alternative forms of assessment.

It is the responsibility of the student to keep their BPK course outlines if they plan on furthering their education.

Registrar Notes:

SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating.  Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community.  Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
