Missed test procedure

You are required to write the mid-term test and final exam at the assigned times and places, unless there are exceptional circumstances which prevent this.

1. Mid-term test

If you miss the midterm for a medical or similar reason, to avoid having a zero recorded as your grade for the test you need to give appropriate information to me.

For medical reasons, medical notes are NOT required this term. You might have seen a doctor, or you might have taken care of your problem through other means. I don't need to know.

For non-medical reasons, again documentation is not required this term.

What is required is a statement of the nature of the issue (e.g. "medical") and the duration (start and end dates) of the issue.

Your health information is private. For medical issues, you can just say "medical", no further detail. For other kinds of issues, please provide the level of detail you think I need to make a decision about your case.

Please send your statement to me by e-mail, preferably in plain text.

Note that making a false claim is an offence under the Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters. False claims will be prosecuted if possible. But mostly, I am relying on your honour to avoid making any false claims or exaggerating any genuine claims.

Also please note that a heavy workload or unfortunate timing of work in other courses is not an excuse for missing a test or exam.

2. Final exam

If you miss the final exam for any reason, I can't help you with that and you need to follow the Arts & Science petition procedure. You probably want to begin by contacting your registrar's office. There may be short time limits, so please contact your registrar's office immediately.
