Announcement from the Mathematics Department:
All students, without exception, are expected to appear at the scheduled time and place for their final examination in mathematics. [For this course, that means Thursday 22 May 2014, 8:00 AM, in our normal room.]
1. Students who are absent for the final examination will receive a final grade of “F”, “WN”, “WU” or “I”.
2. An “I” grade will only be given to students who have a passing average going into the final. [Passing average means 60%]
Please note: An “I” grade will affect a student’s ability to register for the next semester and to receive financial aid. An “I” grade must be removed by taking a makeup final or else it changes into an “F”.
Make-up final examinations will be given only on the last day of summer session I.
3. Students requesting make-up exams must make arrangements with the department secretary in room N711 in advance. They should bring the following information and documents:
* Instructor’s names and mathematics section
* Grade report for the semester
* Bursar’s receipt showing that the $25.00 exam fee has been paid
* Written excuse for absence from final examination, such as doctor’s note for illenss or funeral notice for death in family
* Validated NYCCT I.D. Card
4. A student who missed the final examination should contact his/her instructor or the Mathematics Department as soon as possible. [Note from Prof. Shaver: if you have been excessively absent (more than twice) during the term and also miss the final exam, you should definitely contact me, because otherwise I may assign you a grade of “WU” under the assumption that you’ve unofficially withdrawn from the course.]
Students should not come to the Mathematics Department to find out their grades. The college will mail the grades. Students can access CUNYFirst to find out their grade.
[Note from Prof. Shaver: When the grades are finished I will also send out email via WeBWorK, as I did at midterm.]
