Policy For Missed Examinations

1. It is expected that students shall attend an examination at the place and time originally scheduled, unless unable to do so for reasons of personal health, family emergency, religious holiday or other similar circumstance. If such circumstance arises, then the student shall attempt to contact the coursemaster as soon as possible.

2. There will be a make-up examination or other evaluation process scheduled for any excused missed examination; the time of which will be set by coursemaster in consultation with the student and administered without academic penalty. The coursemaster shall have the ability to modify this rule under special course or student circumstances.

3. The Associate Dean for Student Affairs will be available to hear all concerns raised by students over the specific handling of a missed examination situation. The Associate Dean for Student Affairs may help facilitate a resolution or refer the matter to higher administrative authority.

4. The above policy shall be written and distributed to students by the first day of each course and contained within the student Academic Handbook.
