Exams are closed book and fixed duration. Make-up exams will only be given when a student is prevented from taking the exam due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g., sickness), and formal proof will be required to prove the prevailing circumstance.
As per University policy, incomplete will be granted only under extraordinary circumstances; students who are enrolled after November 11 (the last day to drop a class) should be prepared to receive a grade of A-F.
