Important Note: In the case of a student being absent from an examination an official excused absence must be provided. To be eligible for a makeup examination the student must first obtain an official excused absence from the College of Engineering Associate Dean for Student and Strategic Programs per the procedure in the section above on attendance. The window for initiating an official COE excused absence request is within twenty-four hours after the exam. The instructor must be notified when the excused absence request is submitted. 

Letter adjusted grade scale: A(93--100), A--(90--92), B+(87--89), B(83--86), B--(80--82), C+(77--79),\\
