Policy on exam postponement, adopted by the Faculty, December 2012:
All students are expected to take exams as scheduled. We realize that sometimes it may be
necessary to postpone an exam. We allow postponements in extraordinary circumstances,
including the following:
1. Illness with documented medical verification;
2. family emergency, such as a death in the family, which may require verification;
3. once-in-a-lifetime special event, such as a sibling graduation or sibling wedding (or
similar commitment ceremony); and
4.
two exams on the same day, or three exams on three consecutive days.
Work reasons are not valid reasons for a postponement.
