You must be prepared to show your student ID when turning in your exam and answer sheet.

 

A student will be eligible to take a makeup exam only if the student is (1) absent from the original exam because of one of the legitimate causes listed in the undergraduate catalog and (2) furnishes documentary support for the assertion that the absence resulted from one of these causes.

The Makeup Exam will be at a time and in a location to be announced.
