MAKE-UP EXAMS

 

Make-up exams can be requested for extremely difficult circumstances. If an exam is justifiably missed (e.g. physical injury or death in the family), a student may ask for a make-up exam to be scheduled as soon as possible. This does not apply to the last in-class exam or to online tests.
