Examinations

Course Examinations

Examinations may be written, oral, practical, or a combination of all three. Failure to pay fees may cause a student to be restricted from taking examinations. The department head or the course director with approval of the department head has the option to re-examine any student at any time or to give the student any additional test or tests other than those regularly scheduled, with the objective of arriving at a more accurate evaluation of the student’s academic performance.

Examination materials will be retained by the course director/department until after registration for the next academic year unless a grade appeal has been filed. Materials should be retained as long as an appeal is in progress.
