Examinations, Quizzes, and Make-Up Work

Guidelines Concerning Examinations, Quizzes, and Make-Up Work

A. Daily quizzes, pop-tests, laboratory assignments, or other work which generates a daily grade will not qualify for make-up work. If an absence results in a missed daily grade, then the daily grade will stand as a zero. The decision to make exceptions to this rule rests with the individual instructor and individual situations would be considered only in light of “special circumstances.”

B. Major Examinations are those examinations that count more than 10% of the final grade as a single test grade and will follow the RPT course calendar in blackboard. Major Examinations qualify for make-up work if the absence is considered excused. It is the responsibility of the student to schedule a make-up examination with the instructor immediately upon return to school. The request for make-up work should be rendered in writing. If the student does not schedule make-up with the instructor within TWO days after their return to classes, then the instructor may not allow a make-up examination and the grade will stand as a zero. The highest possible score on a major exam that must be rescheduled due to absence is 85%.

Major Examinations will always be scheduled well in advance, therefore if an absence is anticipated on an exam date; the student should notify the instructor in advance of the date of testing.
