** ALL MAKE UP EXAMS MAY BE WRITTEN (SHORT ANSWER/ESSAY) EXAMS ** 7. Policy for Missing and Making Up Final Exams: Only the Dean of Students office can give students and faculty permission to miss a final exam, and give a make up exam. Students need to contact their office to file the application and if approved, a copy is forwarded to faculty giving permission to administer a Make-up Final Exam. Contact [email protected] Dean of Students, for filing the application. Procedure For Allied Health courses AH 3133 AND AH 3101 : With permission from Uconn Dean of Students, depending on circumstances, students missing the Final may be given an "I" grade for the course. Once all course grades are complete and posted with the Registrar's office for all other students in the course taking the Final Exam as Scheduled, a make-up exam for the Final Exam will be administered on campus at a mutual time for the student and faculty. Once final course grades are posted with the Registrar’s Office for all students taking the final exam at the scheduled time, incomplete grades (if applicable) will be addressed. Only the Registrar’s Office releases final course grades. All missed exams will be administered on campus according to University policy. Student's must produce a photo ID and only bring pens to make up exams. Exams will be proctored. No bags, books, notes, electronic devices of any type (including cell phones) will be allowed into exam areas. ** ALL MAKE UP FINAL EXAMS WILL BE WRITTEN (SHORT ANSWER/ESSAY) EXAMS ** University policy requires all incomplete grades to be made up by the end of the 3rd week of the next regular (Fall / Spring) semester. Again, only the Dean of Students office can give faculty permission to develop and administer a make up exam for the Final Exam in an undergraduate course at Uconn. Students must file application with their office asking permission to take a make-up exam for a course’s Final Exam. They can be reached by contacting [email protected] Dean of Students to start the application for their permission. 8.

Reasonable accommodations in response to student requests to complete work missed by absence resulting from observation of religious holidays with advance notice will be considered for mutual agreeable accommodations.
