Missed Assessment Policy

Students should consult the course syllabus to read about the missed assessment policy. The policy below will be followed in the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy in the absence of a defined missed assessment policy in an individual course syllabus.

Students are expected to be present in the assigned location for all course assessments unless arrangements are made with the course director prior to the administration of the assessment. Make-up assessments are not permitted for unexcused absences. Students with an unexcused absence who fail to attend an assessment will be given a grade of zero for the assessment.

Only students with an excused absence will be exempt from this rule. Excused absences require medical documentation (see medical documentation requirements) stating the student was sick or injured on the day of the assessment or proof of a death in the immediate family. In this case, the grade of the missed assessment will be determined at the discretion of the course director, which may include one of the following options:

1. Increasing the percentage of the remaining assessments to cover the missed assessment.
2. A make-up assessment.
3. If the final assessment is cumulative, the section relating to the missed assessment material can be used as the grade for that missed assessment.
