Make-up Policy

Make-up examinations are a privilege extended to students at the discretion of the instructor, who may grant consent for make-up examinations to those students who miss an exam as a result of a medical problem, personal emergency, or previously announced absence.  On the other hand, instructors may choose to adopt a "no make-up" policy.  Students should refer to the instructor's make-up policy in the course syllabus and if no mention is made therein, should inquire directly of the instructor. 

If an instructor does choose to offer a make-up test, there are two options for them from which to choose:  1) to use university proctors; 2) to make private arrangements to offer the examination.  If a university proctor is used, the student must pay a make-up exam fee for regular examinations and final examinations.  If private arrangements are made, the make-up exam fee is charged at the instructor's discretion.  In either case, the make-up examination fee will be paid by the student through the Bursar's Office, located in Maxcy Hall, Room 109.
