PHYS 1P91 & PHYS 1P92 Lab Credit Policy
You attempted PHYS 1P91/1P92 in the past ...
- ...and you passed the course, congratulations!
- ...and you did not pass the course because of falling short in some combination of...:
- homework,
- weekly quizzes,
- not achieving 50% on the final exam, and/or
- not achieving 60% for the lab grade requirement.
If your previous lab grade was >60%, you will not need to complete the labs again, unless you’d like to attempt for a better lab grade. You will need to repeat the theory part of the course.
In this case, you must also contact the senior lab coordinator for further instructions on how to register for the 1P91/1P92 course in its next offering.
If your previous lab grade was <60%, you will have to register for the next offering of 1P91/1P92 and repeat the entire course.
- ... you passed, BUT you were given credit for PHYS 1P21/1P22 only.
You are still missing the lab component! We offer credit in 1P21/1P22 for students whose only failing was the lab component of the course. You can complete the lab-only component during the next offering of the PHYS 1P91/1P92 course and be upgraded to 1P91/1P92. Please contact the senior lab coordinator.
You successfully completed PHYS 1P21/1P22 in the past ...
- ...and you now need a Physics course with a lab component.
Please contact the senior lab coordinator. You can complete the lab-only component during the next offering of the PHYS 1P91/1P92 course and be upgraded to 1P91/1P92.
If you are going for one of the ‘upgrade’ options, and are contacting the senior lab coordinator:
- Email them at least a few weeks before the beginning of term
- Include all pertinent details (your situation, when you last took the course, your grades, etc)
The senior lab coordinator will help arrange the lab section for you, and informally register you in the course. You will be given access to all lab material on the learning management system.
At the end of a successful attempt at the lab credit, the physics department will submit a change of grade form to the Registrar’s office.
Note:
- Your new final grade is calculated based on the grade composition set during the semester you completed the original course.
- Once the upgrade is completed by the Registrar’s office, you will be charged the non-refundable lab fees for the PHYS 1P91 and/or PHYS 1P92 lab course.
- The Physics Department will not allow resubmission of old lab reports; all work completed must be original. The department uses TurnItIn to enforce this rule.
- You will not be allowed to complete PHYS 1P92 labs until you have successfully completed PHYS 1P91 labs.
