NOTE: This schedule designates the exam time for the 13 official class times as listed in the Elon University Schedule of Classes. Classes scheduled at other times will give the final examination with the nearest official class time. Questions about exams for class times not listed on this sheet should be directed to the instructor or syllabus.

EXAM ABSENCE and RESCHEDULING POLICIES

The university expects students to attend examinations as scheduled. Dates and times for final exams may not be changed for a class without prior approval from the appropriate Department Chairperson. The chair will notify the Assistant Provost for Communications and Operations of course exam modifications when they are granted.

Under certain circumstances, adjustments to the individual student’s completion of final examination may be made.

Multiple Exams on One DayIf a student has three (3) exams scheduled for the same day, he/she may submit anExam Change Request Formthrough the Registrar’s Office. This change request form must be completed and submitted by 5:00 p.m. on the last day of classes before exams.

Medical Reasons

a. Medical EmergencyStudents who have completed sufficient work to complete a course but who become ill or injured just prior to or during the final exam period should visit Elon’s Health Services or contact the Office of Student Health and Wellness to submit healthcare provider verification. Provider documentation must include the date of most recent appointment and dates of recommended absence. Students may choose to utilize the healthcare provider form located at:Exam and Absence Form. Verified medical issues will be communicated to the assistant provost for communications and operations who will notify instructors of the student’s situation. As soon as they are able, students should contact individual instructors to discuss arrangements for completing work. In cases where the instructor is no longer employed at Elon after the end of the semester, the student should contact the department chairperson.

b.Medical Withdrawal (WD)If a student has a documented medical condition that has impacted his/her ability to complete course work and take exams, the student should consult with the Office of Student Health and Wellness in the Ellington Center to request a medical withdrawal. Requests for medical withdrawals must be received, processed and the student withdrawn from classes on or before the last day of the last full week of classes. If granted, a medical withdrawal will remove the student permanently (with grades of WD) from all classes. Medical withdrawals are not granted from selected courses. Students with medical withdrawals will not be permitted to complete courses and must reapply for admission.

Other Documented Excuses for Rescheduling or Missing Exams

Occasionally, a student will find him/herself in a situation that may be best resolved by not taking one or more final examinations as scheduled. Justifiable reasons for such absences may include school-sponsored representation at events, but will generallynotinclude travel arrangements, starting a job or an internship, or participation in family events such as weddings and graduations.

a. Missing or Rescheduling ONE exam only per semesterRequests by a student to miss or reschedule only one exam during a semester must be made to the appropriate department chairperson. When the chair agrees that the reason for missing is justifiable, the student is responsible for working with the faculty member to complete the work for that course.

b. Missing or Rescheduling MULTIPLE final exams in one semesterRequests by a student to miss or reschedule more than one final exam during any given semester must be made to the Assistant Provost for Communications and Operations. Because of the burden on faculty to revise or recreate and administer additional final exams, such absences are not commonly approved. If absence is approved, the Assistant Provost for Communications and Operations will notify instructors that appropriate verification has been received. Students should, as soon as they are able, contact individual instructors to discuss completion of course work.

Students who misrepresent their requests to adjust exams will be charged with violating Elon’s Honor Code.
