Enrollment, Attendance, and Missed Labs
LAB ENROLLMENT
You must be officially registered through the Registrar's Office for the physics lab section you attend; otherwise you may not receive credit for the entire physics course. It is your responsibility to make certain you are properly enrolled for the lab you are attending.
During the registration Course Add period at the beginning of
the semester, if you need to change your lab section enrollment, you
may do so via the web or through the Department Main Office in
Phillips 278. All lab section changes must be made before the end of
the Course Add period.
LAB ATTENDANCE AND MISSED LABS
You are expected to attend all scheduled labs that correspond to
your physics course. If you are unable to attend a lab, contact your
lab instructor or consult the schedule of available lab sections (search for classes via Connect Carolina) as
soon as possible to arrange to attend another lab section in which you
can perform the missed experiment. Before attending a lab section other
than the one in which you are officially enrolled, you must first get
permission from the TA for that section since space for additional
students is often limited. After receiving permission and
attending another lab section, submit your lab report to your regular
lab instructor, who will grade and return it to you. If attendance in
another lab section is not possible due to circumstances beyond your control,
you may seek an excused absence from the Lab Manager or Lab Director in
order to have that lab score dropped. A missed lab will be dropped as
an excused absence only in cases where a student has no other
alternatives and the absence is well justified and verifiable;
otherwise a zero will be recorded for the missed lab. A maximum of one
lab score may be dropped as an excused absence during a single term;
any additional missed labs will receive a zero regardless of the reason
for the absence. Note: The Lab Exam is required for all students.
Excused absences will not be granted to those who miss it.
