Students are warned that they should not attempt to write an exam if they are experiencing symptoms of an illness.听 Once a student begins the exam, they can no longer request an exam deferral.听 If they cannot finish the exam or perform less than optimally, the grade for the exam will stand except in cases where emergency medical treatment is required. Documentation is always required for requests to appeal an exam interrupted by unexpected and serious illness.
