EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES: Students with extenuating circumstances are required to provide details of the extenuating circumstance preventing student from taking the final during the scheduled time slot. Supporting documentation is required.
· Examples of Extenuating Circumstances include religious observances, previously scheduled medical procedures/appointments, and attendance to a funeral or other ceremonies in which student is directly involved in the event.
· Final exams will not be rescheduled due to personal errors, such as student oversleeping or misreading the final exam schedule.
· Final exams are generally not rescheduled due to voluntary travel that conflicts with the final exam schedule. Students are encouraged to check the final exam schedule before making travel plans.
· Students who have prior knowledge of a conflict (bunched finals, religious event/obligation, attendance to a funeral, court date, previously scheduled medical appointment, or other qualifying event) must submit a Final Exam Rescheduling Online Request form by Friday, December 6th, 2024. Students who do not make this request by December 6th for reasons that were known or should have been known prior to this deadline will NOT be granted permission to reschedule their final(s).
2) Student may obtain the Final Exam Rescheduling Online Request form via studentservices.stamford.uconn.edu.
· This process began on, Wednesday, October 2.
· The deadline to submit a Final Exam Rescheduling Online Request form is Friday, December 6th for Bunched Finals.
3) If final reschedule request is granted by OSS, an approval email will be sent to the instructor and student.
4) Student is responsible to work directly with the instructor to set up a new time to make-up the final exam. Please note that OSS does not proctor exams.
