Final Examinations

In classroom subjects, examinations and quizzes are given from time to time throughout the semester at the discretion of the instructor. Final examinations are scheduled at the end of each semester for most of these courses and have significant influence on final grades. All students must be available to take these examinations throughout the announced examination period. Special examinations for individual students at times other than those which are announced will be provided only under extraordinary circumstances, such as death or serious illness in the immediate family or significant professional opportunities. In such cases, before the last week of classes of the semester, the student must submit a petition for a special examination (available in the Office of the Associate Dean of Academic and Student Affairs) with an attached letter or document verifying the circumstances that will require his or her absence. This request will be reviewed by the dean of academic affairs in consultation with the appropriate faculty members.
