Attendance at the paraclinical module is systematic.
THE PRESENCE OF STUDENTS IN THE PARACLINIC MODULE IS COMPULSORY.
The absence will be considered unjustified if it does not follow a serious reason. Within 7 days, the certificates (medical or other) justifying these absences must be brought to the secretariat of the Department of Food Science. A copy will also be sent to the General Secretariat of FMV Students.
Any absence (justified or not) must be recovered during the same academic year.
Unjustified absences will be taken into consideration during the deliberations.
If he is not in order at the practical level, the student will be refused the exam.
Before the beginning of the academic year, the student must pass a mandatory medical examination at the SPMT (Protection and Occupational Medicine Service) to be able to carry out inspection tests at the slaughterhouse. Otherwise, the student can not be admitted to the practical work and the final exam, with all the consequences of not being successful in the year.
 
The practical organization of the paraclinics (time, place, appointment, material ...) is on the faculty's website, in the part "class schedules" and on e-campus.
The department declines any responsibility in case of theft or damage caused to the objects of the student during the sessions. A response time of 24 to 48 hours should be considered for any email sent to assistants or professors (only e-mails sent by the institutional address ULiège will be taken into account). In addition, emails are not collected during weekends.
