Attendance at Examinations

If a student is unable to attend an examination, the student must notify the instructor PRIOR to the exam.  The student must be able to substantiate a valid reason for missing the exam, such as illness, religious holiday, or death in the family. Except in extenuating circumstances, failure to notify the instructor in advance will result in a lowered grade for that exam at the discretion of the instructor.

 

If a student misses an exam, the student must make arrangements with the instructor to take the exam within 48 hours following the original exam date.  The course instructor will determine the format of the exam.  Failure to make timely arrangements to make up the exam will result in a grade of zero for that exam.
