circumstances, none, zero, will a student be allowed to “substitute” one exam for a missed exam.
Students missing an exam must contact me prior to the scheduled exam time and make a mutually
agreeable arrangement for the makeup exam. Failure to take the make-up exam at the agreed time and
place will result in a grade of zero. Students with anticipated absences (such as a documented university
sponsored event) should contact me prior to the absence. Make-up exams will be a different exam
than the one given in class and will be closed-book, closed-notes. You will not be allowed to
use any class materials on make-up exams.

Academic Dishonesty
Candidates are expected to be above reproach in scholastic activities. Candidates who engage in
scholastic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary penalties, including the possibility of failure in the course
and dismissal from the University. “Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to cheating,
plagiarism, collusion, the submission for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in
whole or in part to another person, taking an examination for another person, any act designed
to give unfair advantage to a student or the attempt to commit such acts.” 1 Since scholastic
dishonesty harms the individual, all candidates, and the integrity of the University, policies on scholastic
dishonesty will be strictly enforced.
