Please note:
Failure to obtain prior permission for the absence or to provide satisfactory written documentation within the 7 calendar days will result in an unexcused absence and a grade of zero for the exam. In addition, the missed exam will be considered the student’s first attempt.
Missing an because you have overslept or because you have the wrong date or time are not considered excused absences and will result in a zero on a first attempt.
