Examinations

All students are required to take the regularly scheduled final examination except in cases of an emergency. Final examinations may not be taken in advance of the scheduled time, nor may examinations be deferred for non-emergency reasons (e.g., travel, going home for the holidays, etc.). In the rare case that an examination must be taken outside of the officially scheduled time, permission must be obtained from the instructor. The instructor makes appropriate arrangements for administering the examination at a time that is mutually acceptable. Normally, a student is not permitted to retake a final examination.
