Resources:
Student Classroom Behavior:
The ability to learn is lessened when students engage in inappropriate classroom behav-
ior, distracting others; such behaviors are a violation of the
Code of Student Life. When
disruptive activity occurs, a University instructor has the authority to determine class-
room seating patterns and to request that a student exit immediately for the remainder
of the period. One-day suspensions are reported to appropriate departmental, collegiate,
and Student Services personnel (Office of the Vice President for
Student Services
and Dean of Students).
University Examination Policies:
Missed exam policy. University policy requires that students be permitted to make up
examinations missed because of illness, mandatory religious obligations, certain
University activities, or unavoidable circumstances. Excused absence forms are available at the
Registrar web site:

Final Examinations:
An undergraduate student who has two final examinations scheduled for the same period
or more than three examinations scheduled for the same day may file a request for a
change of schedule before the
published deadline
