Coursework requirements
Electronic HSE-course must be completed and approved before access to the laboratory can be given.
Compulsory laboratory with reports:
The mandatory lab assignments are to be completed at the times and in the groups that are assigned and published. Absence due to illness or other reasons must be communicated as soon as possible to the laboratory personnel. One cannot expect that provisions for completion of the lab assignments can be made at other times unless prior arrangements with the laboratory personnel have been agreed.
Failure to complete the assigned labs on time or not having them approved will result in barring from taking the final exam.
