SSA001 - Science Survival

SSA001 is an integral and mandatory introduction to SBSAC's Laboratory Safety standards and policies, to Seneca College's Academic policies, and to a number of independent study topics that will assist students in biology and chemistry with their studies at Seneca. Topics will include such items as the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS), laboratory safety, academic integrity, and e-mail etiquette.
 
SSA001 will:

  • Equip students to understand program and course requirements necessary to succeed academically, and be knowledgeable about programs and advising services available at Seneca
  • Assist students with identifying program options and establishing career goals, as well as explore experiences that will enhance students? life, education and goals
  • Collaborate with other campus departments and refer students to the services they require, supplying students with accurate and timely information about the curriculum, co-curriculum, college policies, and administrative procedures. (CAS, 2014)
 
Students are expected to review WHMIS and Lab safety, in addition to the college policies covered in class. The material covered will carry through each term, as the content is rooted in safety and protocol. Completion of the WHMIS component is mandatory for participation in the laboratory component of any School of Biological Sciences and Applied Chemistry (SBSAC) subject. Should a student demonstrate inadequate understanding of Lab Safety and WHMIS after having passed SSA001, they may be required to do an evaluated review in order to continue in their laboratory courses.
