Section Notes

To fully benefit from your learning, attendance and respectful participation in classes is required. Missing more than 2 classes, particularly the first 2 classes, will result in a failing mark or a request to withdraw, unless extenuating circumstances are documented. In addition, there is a class on one Saturday (February 7), which students are expected to attend. If you know you will miss a class, or experience challenges that prevent you from attending class, you must contact your instructor as soon as possible to discuss your options. Should you experience difficulties of any kind during your course, we encourage you to reach out to your instructor or the Program Coordinator.
