Guidelines on Religious Observances

1. Where classes or examinations are scheduled on the holy days of a religion, students may notify their instructors, at least two weeks in advance, of their intention to observe the holy day(s) by absenting themselves from classes or examinations.

2. Instructors will provide reasonable opportunities for such students to make up work or missed examinations.

3. Students will cooperate by accepting the provision of reasonable opportunities for making up work or missed examinations.

4. The University Secretary's Office will distribute a multi-faith calendar to each academic unit annually.

Commitment to Inclusivity and Diversity

The University of Victoria is commited to promoting, providing and protecting a positive, supportive and safe learning and working enviromrnt for all its members.

Standards for Professional Behaviour

You are advised to read the Faculty of Engineering document Standards for Professional Behaviour (http://www.uvic.ca/engineering/assets/docs/professional-behaviour.pdf) which contains important information regarding conduct in courses, in labs and in the general use of facilities.

Cheating, plagiarism and other forms of academic fraud are taken very seriously by both the University and the Department. You should consult http://web.uvic.ca/calendar2004/FACS/UnPr/UARe/PoAcI.html the UVIc policy on academic integrity.
