Tests and Examinations

Students should NOT miss announced tests except in rare circumstances. A student who is absent from an announced test because of unavoidable circumstances should notify faculty immediately, before the absence, if possible, and may make up the test by presenting to the instructor written certification to that effect from the Provost. Students who miss a test or examination and are not permitted to schedule a makeup will receive a grade of “F” on that exam.

Final examinations are given in each academic subject at the end of the semester. Permission to be absent from a final examination must be obtained from the instructor and the Provost. Approved absences from a final examination will entail a grade of “I”, and the Incomplete Policy will apply. Failure to receive prior permission to miss a final examination may result in a grade of “F” in the course. Final exam schedules are posted each year. Please ensure that any flights or other plans are scheduled to ensure that you do not miss a scheduled final examination. Note: Students taking exams online may need Respondus.
