COMMUNICATIONS: (email / phone) The use of email to communicate with the instructor and/or teaching assistants is welcome and encouraged. Emails sent on a business day will usually be responded to within 48 hours if not on the next business day. For example, an email sent at the end of the day on Friday may not be returned until Monday or shortly after. Please use emails respectfully and recognize that all emails are a permanent record. In some instances, the instructor may suggest that a response to an email may be best served through a telephone discussion.  

Students who miss examinations due to exceptional circumstances (such as serious illness or compassionate reasons) are required to obtain a physician's certificate, whereby the physician states that you were unable to write your midterm or final on the set date due to a medical condition beyond your control, or other supporting documents in order to obtain consideration in the course. 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.   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 Dr. Poburko reserves the right to give an oral examination of the material.  

ACADEMIC HONESTY AND STUDENT CONDUCT Academic honesty is a condition of continued membership in the University community.

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 via http://www.reg.sfu.ca.
