Examination Policy
No permission will be given to a student to write a test - midterm or
final - in advance of its scheduled date. A student who misses a test will
be allowed to write a make-up test only if both of the following
conditions are met: (1) the student notifies me or the Department of
Economics (291-3508) in advance that the test will be missed; (2) the
student provides a medical certificate showing physical incapability to
write the test.
