• Attendance in lab is required.  It is important that you attend the In-Lab session of lab each week and participate in all group work.
• If you have more than one (1) unexcused absence from the Laboratory, you will receive no credit for the laboratory portion of your entire BIO 181 lab grade (0/300 pts).
• Please contact your laboratory instructor as soon as possible (ASAP) if you need to miss a lab session, or are otherwise unable to complete any part of lab.  
• Arrangements may be made for make up work for legitimate and/or documented excused absences due to illness or required University events.  You should coordinate and scheduled absence as early as possible.  Contact your your laboratory instructor within 24 hours (or in a timely manner) for any illness in order to be eligible to turn in graded work for a lab you did not attend.  The sooner you contact your instructor, the sooner they may be able to help you from falling behind. 
• Any make up work needs to be excused and completed in a timely manner at a date determined by your TA (generally within a few days).
• If you are unable to attend the In-Lab part of lab, you will need to complete all of the In-Lab work on your own using the Online Make Up Module.  You will need to clear this with your Lab TA for any make up work to be graded and for your TA to provide guidance with the In-Lab assignments to complete for possible credit.  These assignments will be due during the regular due date and time unless you have a verified reason for an extension to the due date, then your TA will determine a new appropriate due date for the assignment.  
• Keeping up with assignment due dates will aid your understanding and progression with the materials in each lab unit.  Many of these assignments build upon the skills and/or materials presented in previously submitted work.

Please be sure to communicate any absence issues with your Lab TA in a timely manner. You may be asked to verify your absence using the NC State Absence Verification Service in order to be allowed to turn in assignments outside of the regular due dates.
