25.8.5 Failing to Attend a Final Exam

  • A student who misses the final exam of any course will normally receive an “F” grade for that course (even if his total grades are above the passing grade).
  • Where there has been a documented UD-valid reason the student must submit the excuse/report to the Registration Dept. (RD) within four working days of the missed/scheduled exam. In such a case, the student with an accepted excuse will receive an Incomplete “I” grade, adjusted by the Registrar. Requests submitted at a later date will not be considered.
  • Make-up final exams will be administered by the respective college soonest possible and before the completion of 30 days from the beginning of the following regular semester as scheduled by the RD.
  • If the student fails to attend the make-up exam on the specified date, he/she will be deprived from any further make-up even if she/he provides an acceptable excuse. In this case she/he will receive an “F” for that course.
  • The student's final grade for the "Incomplete" course will be considered as part of the result of the academic semester in which the student registered for the course.
