Attendance at Examinations
If a student is unable to attend a written, oral, or practical examination, the student must notify the instructor prior to the exam. The student must be able to substantiate and document a valid reason for missing the exam, such as medical emergency, religious obligation, or death in the family. There are times when other extenuating circumstances may prevent exam attendance (e.g., court appearance, conflict due to an obligation requiring the student to represent the Institute at a professional conference). Personal travel arrangements are not considered an acceptable extenuating circumstance. All exams rescheduled for extenuating circumstances will be subject to a 10% grade penalty.
If, after proper notification the student is approved for a makeup examination, he or she must schedule the exam with the instructor. The format of the exam will be determined by the course faculty. The makeup exam day, time and place are scheduled at the discretion of the course faculty.
