1. Students should be in their seats and ready to take the exam during the five minutes prior to the scheduled time for that exam. Students arriving late will not receive extra time to take an exam. No student will be able to take an exam if other students have already left the exam room.

2. In courses with more than one section, students cannot switch sections except in extenuating circumstances. Contact the instructor for details.

3. In general, a grade of zero will be entered for all missed quizzes and examinations, including quizzes and exams missed due to lateness. At the discretion of the instructor, a makeup examination may be permitted if there are extenuating circumstances, usually only in cases of medical, family, or other emergencies. These circumstances must be documented. The makeup exam may not have the same point value or format as the original exam. To make up an exam, students must obtain a makeup form from the instructor, have it signed by the student and the instructor, and returned to the instructor within a week of the missed exam. In general, a student may make up only one exam. A grade of zero will be entered if more than one exam is missed.

4. Students must be prepared to take their exam. Coats, purses, papers, notes and books must not be taken to the examination seat. In general, only writing materials and calculators, if required, are permitted. If hats are worn, the cap must face backwards.

9. At the conclusion of the exam, students must hand in all of their question sheets, answer sheets, and the scantron to the proctor and may not discuss the exam with each other until AFTER all students from all sections of the course have taken the exam.
