Message from the Coordinator
On behalf of the faculty of Natural Sciences, I would like to thank you for your interest in our programmes of study. The guide book gives you information on admission requirements for the Laboratory Technology Programmes conducted by our faculty along with information on the curriculum, study methods, tuition fees and dates of registration. This guide book tells you about the support and facilities the University can offer to enable you to study independently. Hence our advice to you is to read the guide book before you apply for the programme. A high efficiency in a laboratory will require knowledgeable workers who are capable of maintaining quality work in the laboratory while ensuring the safety. The laboratory you are working can be a research lab, a quality control lab, a lab in a university or a school lab. The responsibilities and the work expected from you may be slightly different from one another, may be specific, but the common tasks will be more or less the same. These certificate courses are designed for the laboratory technical officers and assistants to develop their knowledge and skills which is very much required to work efficiently in a laboratory. I wish you all the success and hope you will achieve your career goals through distance education at the OUSL. Ms. Janakie Saparamadu Co-ordinator/ Certificate courses in Laboratory Technology Senior lecturer/ Dept. of Chemistry, Faculty of Natural Sciences. [email protected], 011 2881129, 011 2881385

diploma/certificate programmes and Foundation Courses in Science.
The Faculty functions under the leadership of the Dean who is the
administrative and the academic Head. The Faculty has six
academic departments: Botany, Chemistry, Mathematics &
Computer Science, Physics, Zoology and Health Sciences.
The Study System
The study system of The Open University is based on distance
learning methods. Regular attendance to the University is not
required and therefore, well suited for those of you who are

Regional Services
The University has a network of regional/study centres distributed
throughout Sri Lanka (Appendix 1). These Regional Centres provide
facilities for distribution of course materials, limited reference work
6
at libraries, computer practicals, counseling and face to face
teaching.
However, day schools, practical classes and examinations for the
laboratory technology programmes are conducted only in the
Colombo Regional Centre.
Duty leave for University Technical Officers
If you are a permanent technical officer of a national University, you
are entitled for 40 days of paid leave to follow the ACLT programme (UGC
Circular letter No. 13/2000 dated 15th August 2000).
Final Examination
Eligibility to sit the Final examination
Student has to obtain minimum of 40% for the Continuous
Assessment mark (CAM) to be eligible to sit the final examination.
The continuous assessment mark will be calculated from continuous
assessment tests (NBT/OBT), assignments, practical reports and
practical tests.
Repeat Students
Students who are unable to obtain eligibility to sit the final
examination for any particular course will have to re-register for that
course in a subsequent year and will then be considered as repeat
students for that course. Such repeat students are required to pay the
7
normal tuition fee again and the highest grade they can obtain for the
final examination is C. Please note that students who drop courses
after the drop date will be considered as repeat students.
Re-sit Candidates
Students who are eligible but fail at the final examination will be
considered as re-sit candidates. They need not register and obtain
eligibility for the particular course again. They will have to sit for
the final examination again and the highest grade they can obtain for
the final examination is C. Re-sit candidates are not required to pay
any course fee but only the re-sit examination fee.
Postponing sitting the Final Examination
Eligible student if they so wish, can postpone sitting the final
examination for three years from the year of obtaining the
eligibility. Such postponement is not advisable since it makes
the student difficult to face the final examination successfully later.
Students who do not sit the final examination are given the grade
RX.
Registration
Registration sessions are held only at Colombo Regional
Centre for laboratory technology programme. Once you have
applied, the university will inform the date you will be required to
attend to register for the programme of your choice.
