Missed Examinations/Projects/Presentations

Final Examinations/Projects/Presentations

It is the policy of LIM College that all final examinations or projects or presentations be given on their scheduled examination day. No final examination or project or presentation will be given early (before the official examination or project or presentation date during final examinations week). Students who miss final examinations or projects or presentations will receive an F for that portion of their grade, unless otherwise noted on the course syllabus.

Make-up examinations or projects or presentations are for students who miss a final examination or project or presentation due to a documented extreme emergency (hospitalization, death of immediate family member, religious observation). p. In instances of religious observances, the instructor and the Dean should be contacted at least two weeks before the posted date of the final examination or project or presentation.  In instances of hospitalization or death of immediate family member both the instructor and the Dean should be contacted within 24-36 hours and documentation will be required.

Other Examinations/Projects/Presentations

Permission to take a make-up quiz or project submission or presentation or midterm examination may be given by the instructor and may be made in consultation with the Dean of Graduate Studies. In this case, permission will be subject to the same standard as is applied for final examinations or projects or presentations. In instances of religious observances, the instructor should be contacted once the date of the examination or project or presentation is posted on the syllabus and/or in Canvas. If a student misses a quiz or test or examination or project or presentation due to hospitalization or death of an immediate family member, they must notify their instructor within 24-36 hours to request a make-up. The date/time and location of the make-up are at the discretion of the instructor. It is the student’s responsibility to make themselves available for the make-up. There are no second make-ups, and failure to take a make-up will result in a zero grade for the quiz, test or examination or project or presentation.
