GRADE

Syllabus Template Designed By: Dr. Naseer Ahmed

• Class Attendance and Absenteeism
Students are required to attend all classes and lab meetings. Regular attendance in their
class/laboratory sessions will be very helpful to maintain a satisfactory progress throughout
their course. Attendance will be strictly enforced and evaluated according to the Student
Attendance Control Criteria announced by the UCY. Any student who exceeds the maximum
allowable absence limit during the course will earn him a denial notice (DN) grade. Warning 1
will be given on 9 absents. Warning 2 will be given on 14 absents. DN grade will be awarded
on more than 14 absents.

• Policy on Late Lab. / Project Report and Written Work

Assignments are due at the beginning of the class on the date indicated in the course schedule
or on the Assignment. If the due date is extended, you will be informed of this through notice
board. Assignments will not be accepted after the classroom discussion occurs. Such discussion
would provide an unfair advantage to those who are preparing/submitting the assignment after
the fact. At the instructor's option, late assignments may be evaluated to provide feedback, but
WILL NOT BE GRADED. Late assignments will receive a grade of zero.

• Academic Integrity
Cheating in any form will not be tolerated and could lead to severe consequences. Academic
work submitted by the students in the form of homework, assignment, or a project must be the
result of their own effort.

• Make-Up Exam Policy

A student who has missed an exam will be allowed to sit in a make-up exam only if he or she
provides a medical report from a government hospital/clinic.

• General Behavior
Students must maintain a good behavior both in and outside their classes. They are required to
keep their mobile phones switched off while attending their class/laboratory sessions or writing
their exams. Any student who engages in a behavior that disrupts the learning environment may
face disciplinary action under the UCY code. Students must also maintain a smoke free
environment in all college facilities.
