Final Exam Policy • If you have taken all 6 quizzes and have averaged 90% or more for the 4 that count and have completed all other work satisfactorily, you will be exempted from the Final • If you miss the final for an approved reason but have completed all other work, you will receive the average % of the quizzes you have taken for the final, as long as you have taken at least 4 of them. • A make up exam may be offered at the professor’s sole discretion ONLY if a dire situation warrants it. • ONLY, if you remain in the hospital on the make up day (after all other finals) , will an “Incomplete” even be considered an option.
Serious Extenuating Circumstances And Proof Required • Only the following items count as a serious extenuating circumstance- Hospitalization or being treated in the emergency room at the time of the quiz/exam- Death in the IMMEDIATE family (spouse, child, father, mother, grandparent who lives with you)- A governmentally dictated appointment that cannot/should not be re-scheduled (this has to be cleared ahead of time) • Proof required for these-Original or certified copy of admission document showing the date/s -Death certificate and proof of relationship-Original appointment letter

And, yes, students have tried in the past.
