Common Hour and Final Examination Schedules are published in the Schedule of Classes. Students have access to this information at the time of registration.  Excused Absence from Exam or Class
Students having an illness requiring medical attention, conflict due to a religious observance, death in the family, etc. should bring documentation (ie. Dr’s note, obituary, etc.) into the Academic Dean’s Office (EN-B100) for an Excused Absence letter. The Excused Absence letter obligates instructors to allow you to make up homework, quizzes, exams, etc. Common Hour Examination Conflict
- A student shall be said to have a common hour exam conflict
if that student has:-another Common Hour Examination or a regularly scheduled class at the same hour. -an equally pressing reason supported by a documented excuse that is acceptable to the instructor or Dean’s Office. Students having an exam conflict should contact the instructor of the course(s) involved for information regarding the arrangements for the make-up examination. If an instructor desires verification for the absence from an exam, the student must provide it. The student can obtain such verification from the Academic Dean’s Office (EN-B100) by providing documentation (ie. course schedule showing class hours, course syllabus showing exam date/time, etc). Final Exam Conflict
- A student shall be said to have a final exam conflict if that student has:-3 or more exams on one CALENDAR DAY (do not confuse with 24hr period) -3 or more exams scheduled in consecutive periods (ex. 4-7pm, 8-11pm, 8-11am next day) -2 exams scheduled for the same exam period Students having an exam conflict should contact the instructor of the course(s) involved for information regarding the arrangements for the make-up examination. The instructor may re-schedule the exam during the exam period and is responsible for rescheduling, proctoring, and grading make-up exams to accommodate students who have conflicts. If an instructor desires verification for the absence from an exam, the student must provide it. The student can obtain such verification from the Academic Dean’s Office (EN-B100) by providing documentation (ie. course schedule showing class hours, course syllabus showing exam date/time, etc). NOTE: Such verification should be made BEFORE the start of finals. In the case of a student with a 3 exam conflict (3 final exams in one calendar day or in consecutive exam periods, as listed in the rules for final exams), if none of the instructors will initially agree to provide the student with a non-punitive exam at an acceptable alternative time, then the middle of the 3 exams will be the one for which such a conflict exam period must be found. In the case of a 4 exam conflict it will be the second exam which must yield. If there were 5 consecutive exams, it would be the middle exam to yield. |
