Required Lab Dress:  Beginning on the first day of lab, everyone MUST have approved goggles, long-sleeved shirts which cover the midriff, long pants, and shoes with closed toes and heels (no sandals, slides, etc.). (Basically, you should have as little exposed skin as possible.) Anyone not wearing the appropriate attire will not be allowed into lab.

 

Make-Up Lab Policy:  If you miss a lab, you must obtain a permission form from your instructor to attend one of the make-up lab sessions. Make-up lab periods are scheduled on Friday, October 24 for labs missed before October 24, and Monday, December 1 for experiments missed after October 24. These are the only times when you can make up a lab. Only one lab may be made up during each period. (No make-up will be allowed on the Chemical Reactions I lab.)
