Make-up examinations are a privilege extended to students at the discretion of the instructor, who may grant permission 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: 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 at the Bursar's Office, located in Maxcy Hall, Room 109.
