University Student Rules on attendance
for more precise information. In particular, note the Rule 7.5 which
states that if the student is seeking an excused absence, the student
must notify the instructor as soon as possible after the absence, but
no later than the end of the second working day after the last date of
absence. If the absence occurs the same day as a scheduled exam or
other graded procedure, the student must notify his/her instructor or
department by the end of the next working day after the absence in
order to ensure full rights. The student is responsible for providing
satisfactory evidence to the instructor within one week of his or her
absence return to substantiate the reason for absence.
Late Homeworks will not be
accepted.

Copying work done by others, either in-class or out of class, is an act
of scholastic dishonesty and will be prosecuted to the full extent
allowed by University policy. Collaboration on assignments, either
in-class or out-of-class, is forbidden unless permission to do so is
granted by your instructor. For more information on university policies
regarding scholastic dishonesty, see University Student Rules.
