Week 16 checklist

Math Department Final Exam Absences Policy

From a memo to instructors:

F, WU GRADE

  • The cleanest way to handle students who miss the final exam is to simply compute the grade with a zero for the final. In all likelihood, the final letter grade will be F or WU – (if student stops attending after December 13).

INC GRADE

  • An INC grade prevents students from registering for any class with the prerequisite of the MAT class in question and has been more difficult to manage in recent semesters.
  • Only if a student is BOTH passing AND you receive approved documentation, are they eligible for a makeup final conducted approximately two weeks prior to the start of the Fall semester.

ALL (3) CRITERIA MUST BE MET FOR MAKEUP FINAL:

  1. Student PASSING the course (D or higher)
  2. DOCUMENTATION received by YOU for a valid excuse such as:
    • Serious Illness *Requires Pre-Approval from John Currie; student must submit medical documentation to John Currie, (Student Accessibility Director) who in turn must inform YOU if approved – Only then may you submit this form. (john.currie37@citytech.cuny.edu; L-237)
    • Jury Duty (Summons) *Please present to Student Accessibility (see above)
    • Death in the Family (Bereavement) *Please present documentation to Student Affairs N325.
    • TRAVELING IS NOT AN EXCUSE
  3. After verifying documentation, complete a MAKEUP APPROVAL FORM and upload an “Incomplete Resolution Plan” form (required if giving INC grade) at the end of the makeup approval form.
