l Les politiques départementales

Compte tenu du fait que les élèves n’ont souvent qu’une seule occasion par semaine de pratiquer
l’anglais, la présence au cours est fortement encouragée.

L’étudiant qui est absent à un cours a la responsabilité de remettre les travaux prévus et de
s’informer de la matière donnée ou des exercices effectués afin d’être à jour lors du cours suivant.

L’étudiant doit avoir reçu 25% des points de la note totale avant la 8e semaine de cours.

Les professeurs insistent sur la qualité de la présentation. L’étudiant doit se conformer aux
critères pré-établis.

Le retard dans la remise d’exercices ou d’un travail entraîne une pénalité de 20% au total. Aucun
exercice ou travail n’est accepté par le professeur après la présentation du corrigé ou la remise des
copies corrigées au groupe.

L’étudiant doit remettre l’original de son travail et en conserver une copie.

En cas d’absence à une évaluation sommative, l’étudiant se voit attribuer la note zéro (0).
Toutefois, l’étudiant qui a dû s’absenter pour une raison sérieuse à un test, à un examen ou à un
travail fait en classe peut reprendre cette évaluation s’il justifie son absence de façon acceptable
pour le professeur. Ce recours doit être exercé avant la remise des copies corrigées. Dans ce cas,
l’étudiant doit pouvoir fournir un document écrit qui atteste le motif de son absence : certificat
médical, rapport d’accident, certificat de décès, ordonnance de la cour, participation à des
activités de l’École sport-études, etc.

Une révision de notes en fin de session ne peut porter que sur la note d'un examen final ou d'un
travail qui en tient lieu.

L’anglais est la seule langue utilisée en classe.

En cas de plagiat, la note zéro (0) pour le travail, l'examen ou le test est attribuée lorsqu'un étudiant
se rend coupable de plagiat pour la première fois; la note zéro (0) pour le cours au complet est
attribuée lorsqu'un étudiant se rend coupable de plagiat pour une deuxième fois pendant ses études
collégiales; l'étudiant est suspendu ou renvoyé du Collège lorsqu'il se rend coupable de plagiat pour
une troisième fois pendant ses études collégiales. Lors d'un constat de plagiat, le professeur en avise
sans délai l'étudiant concerné et rédige un mémo au coordonnateur de l’enseignement qui voit à le
déposer à son dossier.

Tout étudiant qui est refusé en classe pour n’importe quelle raison doit suivre les procédures du
département pour être réadmis en classe. Il incombe à l’étudiant de prendre rendez-vous
immédiatement avec son professeur afin de discuter de la situation menant au refus en classe. Si
aucune entente ne peut être convenue, l’étudiant doit se présenter le plus tôt possible à la
coordination du département. Si cette démarche auprès du département demeure insatisfaisante,
l’étudiant a recours à la coordination de l’enseignement préuniversitaire.
