The University recognizes only a few excuses for missing exams, including religious holidays, University-approved travel, and illness (Cf. Schedule of Classes). Traffic, for example, is not a valid excuse: to adjust for possible problems, you should plan to get to campus well in advance of the exam. Neither exam is scheduled on a major recognized religious holiday. Except in the case of emergencies, you will know beforehand if you will miss a scheduled exam or lab. If you provide written documentation of the excuse BEFORE the exam, a make-up exam will be given at a mutually agreed upon time. To be fair to your classmates, we will have the make-up exam before the regular exam. In the case of emergencies, you must contact me promptly following the missed exam with a valid written excuse in order to be able to take a make-up exam. Make-up exams may be written or oral, at my discretion. If you do not have a valid written excuse, you will NOT be allowed to make up the exam.
If you miss the final exam, a valid written excuse must be provided within ONE DAY after the missed final exam. In addition, you must arrange with me a time for a make-up exam within two days after the exam date listed in the University course schedule. This is fixed because course grades are due 48 hours after the final exam has been held.
For the night labs, it may not be possible for everyone to attend on their assigned night. If that is the case for you, please be sure that we are aware in advance that you will be unable to attend. We will make arrangements for you to make up the work.
