If you are going to miss a test, or have missed a test, due to religious, medical, or compassionate
grounds, or due to extenuating circumstances, you must:

1) Notify the professor, preferably by email, prior to the test if possible, or in any case within 3
working days of the test.
2) Provide original documentation to the professor within 3 working days of the test that
supports your absence and is dated within 3 days of the absence.
3) In the event of extenuating circumstances, explain your reason for missing the test to the
satisfaction of the professor.

If the above conditions are met then the professor will record your choice of:

1) Writing the test at a day and time scheduled by the professor, provided the test has not
been handed back to the class;
2) Writing a make-up test at a day and time scheduled by the professor; or
3) Moving the weight of the missed test to the comprehensive final exam, provided no other
missed test has been handled this way.

All of the statements above also apply to make-up and rescheduled tests.
