EMBA students should e-mail makeup exam requests to [email protected]. Requests to reschedule exams for reasons other than those listed above will be considered on a case by case basis, and should include the reason for the appeal, timing of any travel, as well as the exam and course details.
If the request for a rescheduled exam is approved, the administration will make every effort to reschedule your exam close to the given exam period, in consultation with your professor. Makeup exams will typically be given during business hours. In some unusual cases, the administration and your professor may arrange for a rescheduled exam to be taken remotely.
In some cases, if the exam cannot be rescheduled during the exam period or offered remotely, students may receive an IN (incomplete) for the course and must complete the exam (as well as all course requirements) within the following semester. If the required exam is not completed within the following term, an automatic grade of F is awarded for the class. Students who miss exams outside of the parameters and permissions outlined above will be considered as having an unexcused absence from the final exam.
