Any student who is unable to attend an examination because of circumstances beyond their control (e.g., illness) or any student who has three exams on one day or has a conflict should notify their instructors first and then the Office of Academic Affairs, EN A 210, 203-392-5350, prior to or during the day of the exam. Evidence supporting the reasons for the absence should be submitted as soon as possible thereafter to the instructors.
