Section 7: Laboratory

7.1 Registration:
If a course requires registration in both a lecture and a separate appropriate laboratory section, AURORA STUDENT will not permit you to register in that course unless you register for both.

7.2 Exemptions:
If you think you are eligible for a laboratory exemption, you must check with the department offering the course to obtain formal consent of this. Once received, deliver it to your faculty or school office, as an override may be required on your academic record. You must register for the laboratory exempt section.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you are eligible for a laboratory exemption. If you register for one of these courses and it is subsequently determined that you are not entitled to exemption, you will be required to register for a laboratory section. If no space remains available in the laboratory, you will be required to withdraw from the course.

The Department of Chemistry has instituted the following regulations for laboratory exemption:

• valid for two calendar years only
• lab exemption given only one time per course
• laboratory marks are carried forward to the next course attempt
• students are responsible for laboratory questions on test and examinations
• students must earn a minimum of 60% on the laboratory to be eligible for an exemption

7.3 Laboratory Release
Certain Chemistry and Microbiology courses require that you check out of the laboratory before you withdraw or change lab sections. It is your responsibility to check with the departmental office prior to making any changes to your laboratory registration, after September 15, 2006 and January 10, 2007. Failure to check out of your laboratory might put your academic records on HOLD.
