What do I do if I miss my exam?

When extenuating circumstances arise that impacts a student's ability to attend an exam they should first reach out to the course instructor.

Students should email their instructor and clearly indicate why they were unable to complete the exam and politely ask if alternate arrangements can be made.

While Academic Advisors are not able to make alternate arrangements, they can help students discuss options if a student has missed an exam and already reached out to the course instructor.
