Out-of-Sequence Exam Request

All students must take examinations when and where they are scheduled. Students must plan to be in residence during the entire exam period. No exam may be taken before the scheduled date for the exam. Professors do not have discretion to individually override this policy. A student may request permission to take an examination out-of-sequence for the following reasons:

1. The student has two (2) in-class examinations scheduled on the same calendar day, or
2. The student has one (1) in-class examination and one (1) 24-hour take home examination scheduled on the same calendar day, or
3. The student has two (2) 24-hour take home examinations scheduled on the same calendar day, or
4. The student has three (3) in-class examinations scheduled on three (3) consecutive calendar days, or
5. The student has two (2) in-class examinations and one (1) 24-hour take home examination scheduled on three consecutive calendar days, or
6. The student has one (1) in-class examination and two (2) 24-hour take-home examinations scheduled on three consecutive calendar days.
7. The student has serious medical reasons verified in writing by appropriate medical personnel, or
8. The student has a personal emergency supported by documentation.

Examinations Rescheduled for Reasons One (1) through Six (6) Above:
Students who seek to change an examination time for reasons one (1) through six (6) above must seek permission from the Registrar. Students must complete examinations rescheduled for reasons one (1) through six (6) during the scheduled examination period. If a student requests an out-of-sequence examination based on an in-class and take-home exam sequence, the Registrar's Office shall reschedule the take-home examination rather than the in-class examination.

Examinations Rescheduled for Reasons Seven (7) and Eight (8) Above:
Students who seek to change an examination time for reason seven (7) or eight (8) above must seek permission from the Associate Dean for Student Affairs. Personal emergencies do not include work-related responsibilities, but rather contemplate such events as a death in the family, or emergency medical situations that involve the student or family dependents. A student who seeks a rescheduled examination for reasons seven (7) and eight (8) must file an Out of Sequence Exam Request with the Associate Dean as soon as the medical situation arises or as soon as the student discovers the personal emergency. Students can find such forms here. Students who receive permission to reschedule an examination for reasons seven (7) and eight (8) must complete the examination as soon as possible and preferably within the normal examination period for the particular semester. In no event may a student reschedule an examination after the beginning of the next semester. A general petition must be filed with the Associate Dean for Student Affairs for any reason other than those listed above.

*You must provide your COMPLETE Exam Schedule including course and instructor names.
*Examination you wish to take out-of-sequence and proposed date of exam (Out-of-Sequence Dates will be listed on the exam calendar):
Please check the examination schedule to see when the next closest out-of-sequence examination session is scheduled. Your examination will be scheduled at that time if there is no conflict with your other examination(s). TAKE HOME EXAMINATIONS/PAPERS: All requests for extensions of time in which to submit extended take-home examinations or papers should be submitted to the Registrar’s Office. Timed online take-home examinations may not be rescheduled unless the student has a medical or family emergency. Students must submit a request at least one day in advance of the due date of the take-home examination. Failure to make such requests and also to notify the Registrar’s office of such timely requests will result in point penalties or failure at the discretion of the course professor.
