Exam Make-Up Policy

The following are examples of acceptable reasons for missing an exam:

Conflicting exam or class
Should you have a class or exam in another course scheduled at the same time as a Math104 exam, you need to request that the Registrar’s Office resolve the conflict for you.

To request this, log into your Spire page, go to “Student Home” and then go to “Evening Exam Conflict”. This will allow you to fill out a conflict form and submit it to the Registrar’s Office. The registrar will email the instructor who needs to provide a makeup exam.

Your instructor needs to receive this email from the Registrar’s Office at least two weeks in advance of the exam.

Note: When the final exam schedule comes out, if you find you have another final exam scheduled for the same time as ours, or if you have three final exams scheduled for the same day, then you should follow the same procedure as above.

Official university travel
If you will be traveling for university business (e.g. athletic competition or an academic conference), then you will need to give your instructor: your full name, student ID number, your section number, email address, and official documentation supporting the absence at least two weeks in advance of the exam.

Medical reasons
Absence from an exam due to medical reasons can be planned or unexpected.  If planned, you need to notify your instructor at least two weeks in advance of the exam.  If unexpected, you will need to contact your instructor within one day of the missed exam.  In either case, you will need to give your instructor: your full name, student ID number, your section number, email address, and if possible, documentation from a medical professional. You need not disclose any private details of the reason for a medical excuse.

Religious observances
State law and University regulations require that a student be excused from academic pursuits on days of religious observance. The regulations also require the student to notify the instructor, in writing, at least two weeks before the absence or it may not be excused.  The University provides a list of major observances here
