Chem 111 Laboratories Spring 2026
What you need to know before attending your first lab....
Lab Sessions start the week beginning January 12 in room FR308.
Note that section L1 (Monday) performs Exp #7 out-of-sequence, before Exp #6, due to Easter Monday break on April 06.The following two clickable icons appear at various places in the lab schedule:
Instructional
Videos - specific to
laboratory techniques and equipment for selected experiments,
showing the methods that students will use when in the
laboratory. Recommended viewing.
Online
Tutorials - relating to selected study guide
problems and treatment of results. Optional viewing.

Laboratory Attendance
Attendance at laboratories is mandatory, and missed work will be assigned a zero grade. To pass the laboratory component of this course you must achieve a minimum mark of 50% overall, and you must have attended and completed a required minimum of laboratory work. A sudent missing more than 3 lab sessions, for any reason, automatically fails the lab course and hence the entire chemistry course.
If absence from a laboratory period is unavoidable, contact your lab supervisor, preferably before the class, and certainly no more than one day after the missed experiment. Unavoidable absences from the lab (to which there is also a limit) are governed by the Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences Policy Regarding Missed Examinations and Labs which can be found in your course outline. If a lab excuse is granted, you will likely be required to make up the lost work.
Laboratory Report Deadlines
Most reports will be due at the end of the laboratory session. A
few reports (for example, the full report and any requiring the use
of MS-Excel to create graphs) will require more time for completion.
Information about due times is found in the "Prelab Preparation"
section of each experiment in the lab manual. Deadlines for
submission of reports requiring extra time will be given by your
laboratory instructor.
The reports should be submitted in
the correct drop box in the hallway outside FR308, unless otherwise
specified by your instructor.
Note that there are boxes for
all chemistry lab courses and all lab sections within each course,
so be sure to use the correct box! Reports left in the wrong box
will not be marked!
Late Laboratory Reports
Penalties will be applied to reports received after the stated deadlines. Late report policies are set by the Department of Chemistry and applied to all laboratory components of chemistry courses at Capilano University. Since the late report policy is set by the Department of Chemistry, your instructor is obligated to apply the penalties as described below
A late report received within 24 hours of the deadline, and signed, will be assessed a penalty of 50% of the total possible marks. Late reports must be submitted in person to one of the chemistry laboratory personnel to be signed and dated.
If late reports are left in the hallway drop box after the deadline, they will not be marked. Reports received more than 24 hours after the deadline will not be marked, resulting in 100% loss of the total possible marks.
For more complete details on the late report policies, consult your laboratory guide.
