relieve students from their course work. Absence from exams is not granted under normal
circumstances. If an exam is going to, or will, be missed for reasons beyond students
control, arrangements must be made with the instructor ahead of time, or as soon as
possible. An attempt in taking the missed exams is considered only and when it is due to an
emergency.

reason(s) has been obtained from the instructor. Exceptions to this rule may be granted
only if the late work is due to any emergency situation, on a case by case basis.
