Dutchess Community College Chemistry Lab Frequently Asked Questions
1. What do I do if I miss a lab?
Labs must be
made up within two weeks of the regularly scheduled lab period. They must be
made up when another lab is going on, and they must be scheduled two days ahead
of time with the lab assistants. For more information, see
the lab make-up policies.
3. What
do I do if I want to drop my chemistry class?
Don't drop
your class without talking to your professor. Sometimes
extra help is all that is needed (see question 7). Sometimes it's possible to switch to a more
appropriate class if you were misplaced. If you are really sure that dropping
your class is the best thing to do, you must turn in the chemistry key to the
lab assistants
and go to the
registrar's office
to drop the
class.
4.
What
should I do if I have dropped my chemistry class?
You must
check-out of your lab drawer and turn in your chemistry key by bringing it to Jenni
or Kerri at the lab. Please do this as soon as possible,
before you forget or lose your key. There is a $10 fine if you don't check-out your drawer
and a $20 fine if you lose your key. Please do not give your key to
Security or the Registrar’s Office.
5. What
if I lose my chemistry key?
If you lose your key, you will be charged $20. This covers the cost of replacing the lock as well as the key. We will probably delay billing you until the end of the semester in hopes that the key will be found. If you find the key, even after you have been billed, please return it to receive a refund of the fee if the lock has not yet been changed.
6. How should I return my chemistry key?
