Lab Class Policies (General)

1. •A student MUST be enrolled in one of the lab sections in order to use the 570 facilities during any of the lab sections.
   

2. •All students must show their student ID’s when checking in to the lab with the lab instructor.  Students using the darkroom or studio will leave their ID’s with the lab instructor during the use period.
   

3. •During the Fall and Spring semesters, a student MUST be enrolled in a photography or digital imaging class in order to use the lab. If a student has completed all available photography and digital imaging classes, then they can enroll in Independent Study in order to gain access Art 214A.
   

4. •The instructor present does not give assignments, but rather helps students with their current assignments.
   

5. •This is a pass, no pass class. A student must show up 7 times total to get a grade of “pass”.
   

6. •On the first class meeting of the semester, a student needs to show up for the lab section that they enrolled in.
   

7. •Students can enroll in the section that best fits their time schedule, and still attend the other sections of the class as long as there is room available in the lab. For example, if a student enrolls in the Wed section, that student can also attend the Monday or Friday section. A student can stay as long or as little as they need to during the Lab section. They can stay just 10 min or for the entire class period.
   

8. •Lab instructors use an online sign-in sheet for all lab sections.  Lab instructors sign students into the lab.  At the end of the semester, lab instructors will compare the attendance sheets and base attendance on the combined effort of a student attending all Lab sections. Lab instructors can work together to best achieve this. In other words, a student will get credit for coming to any of the Lab sections.
