Lab Makeup Policy – Due to the high number of students taking Geomatics course labs this semester, additional time to make up a lab must be done outside of the busy time period of 2-6pm, Monday thru Friday. Please schedule your additional time with your TA’s, as they are primarily responsible for helping you out. They will meet you at the agreed time to let you in the locker room, as the locker room is not usually locked.
