10.5 Petition to Reschedule Exams

Petition to Reschedule Midterm & Final Exam Due to Medical Emergency 

Students whose basis for an exam reschedule request is a medical emergency, should contact DisabilityServices@law.cuny.edu within 24 hours of the exam.

Outreach should include supporting documentation illustrating the reasons why the student could not be in attendance. This should be written on letterhead, dated and signed by a medical professional who is qualified to treat or diagnosed the condition.

Exams rescheduled requests that are approved by Student Disability Services will be re-scheduled as soon as possible, after the original exam date, often within a brief makeup window.

Petition to Reschedule Due to Non-Health Related Circumstances 

Students can also petition for a rescheduled exam for non-health related issues. They should direct these inquires to academicdeanoffice@law.cuny.edu and may be directed to formalize their request via the Petition to Reschedule Due to Conflict form. Please refer to section 4.1 of this handbook for more information on this.

Petition to Reschedule Due to Conflict

1) direct conflict: two final examinations scheduled at the same time 
2) effective conflict: three final examinations scheduled within any 48-hour period
