Make-up exams are only given for exceptional circumstances in nursing courses that have exams. Since exam dates are already specified in the syllabus, it is expected that students will adjust any scheduling issues they have to accommodate taking the exam. Recognizing, however, that one cannot plan to avoid or reschedule sickness, a family death, or a few other limited circumstances, make-up exams will be given at the discretion of the instructor. Make-up exams must be completed within one week of the missed event. The student must contact the instructor directly by phone or in person to make arrangements prior to the regularly scheduled exam period. The make-up exam will be equivalent in content covered and level of difficulty; however, the instructor reserves the right to alter the format of the make-up exam, i.e., to include short answers or essay questions. If a student should miss a schedule make-up exam, the student will receive a zero for the test. [Undergraduate Affairs Committee Approval–Fall 2011]
