4.5 Retakes of Final Exams

No retakes of final examinations are permitted. However, where a professor judges that the offering of a second and new final examination constitutes a valuable pedagogical tool in her/his class, such a second examination may be offered, provided that:

1. The availability of the subsequent, new examination and its conditions are announced in the course syllabus or course requirements distributed at the beginning of the semester;

2. The new examination is available only to students who, based on their score on the original final examination, will have failed the course and with the understanding that the highest course grade available to a person taking the new examination will be a “D” for the course; and

3. The date and conditions of the new examination are approved by the Academic Dean.
