Makeup Students sometimes cannot make an examination. Makeup exams are problematic. Therefore a policy of adjusting the weight of a final exam for one missed exam is utilized. There is a no questions during test policy. This does not infer that the instructor has not made a mistake, it just means do the best you can with the information you have. International students are encouraged to ask questions about unfamiliar vocabulary used in class as it will not be explained during a test.
It is the policy of the University to excuse absences of students that result from religious observances and to provide without penalty for the rescheduling of examinations and additional required class work that may fall on religious holidays.
