In rare instances, medical reasons may prevent a student taking an examination as scheduled. Students are entitled to one Medical Excuse for examinations per 12-month period. The student receives an “I” for the exam grade and is permitted to take the Completion Examination. Students take the Completion
Examination after the semester ends, as per the official schedule on the Office of the University Registrar website. Students should consider this completion examination period when scheduling end of term travel. Travel conflicts are not a valid reason for missing an examination; examinations will not be re-scheduled to accommodate student travel.
Students should use their Medical Excuse wisely as no additional excused absences for examinations will be allowed. If a student does not take an examination as scheduled and has already used his/her Medical Excuse in the prior 12-month period, then the student will receive a “0” grade for the examination.
Students with extenuating circumstances for missing an additional examination should seek guidance from the Dean of Students Office.
