Late Homework and Makeup Exam Policy
Homework
Homework will be assigned electronically. In the case of extenuating circumstances, you should
consult your instructor and arrange to get a note from a doctor or your advisor or the appropriate university official.
Notes on circumstances NOT considered extenuating:
- A prearranged trip off campus for any event will not be considered as extenuating circumstances for online homework. If you have to take a trip off campus you are expected to plan ahead accordingly.
- Please note on the online schedule that the deadline for each homework is 2 a.m. on the due date. You will not be given an extension for missing this deadline due to forgetfulness or poor time management. You are expected to start your homework well before the deadline so that you can sort out any problems on time.
- If you are having problems with your computer you are expected to go to a computer cluster on campus to complete your online homework.
Make up Exams
- Please check the exam dates. Do not make travel plans conflicting with any exam dates! In the event that you miss an exam, a note from your advisor or a dean from First Year of Studies will be required in order to gain credit for the make-up exam. Please send an e-mail to your instructor as soon as possible if you miss an exam.
- If you qualify for a make up exam, it may be run as a proctored exam or it may involve giving you the average of your other exam grades in the course, depending on factors such as whether your instructor has time to create a make-up exam and whether we can find a common time and proctors to administer a second exam.
- Make up exams may differ in format from the original exam. For instance, they may consist of only multiple choice questions.
- Sometimes instructors are lenient if you miss an exam for a foolish reason such as your alarm clock not going off (but don't count on this!!!).
Such leniency if extended at all will only be extended once. In other words,
if you miss an exam because you overslept more than once, you will not get credit for the second exam.
