Examinations

University Policy

College of Engineering Undergraduate Policy

Course examinations are given at the instructor’s discretion. A student who is unable to attend an examination should contact the instructor as early as possible prior to the examination to discuss the possibility of alternate arrangements. A student who is absent from an examination may request a makeup examination only if the examination was missed for a serious reason (such as illness or family emergency). Students with family emergencies or illnesses should contact the Undergraduate Programs office as soon as possible so that instructors can be notified. Please be aware that special or makeup examinations will not be scheduled to accommodate a student’s travel plans.

Final examinations are required in most undergraduate courses and are given only during the scheduled examination period (dates are stated in the Calendar section). Scheduling conflicts regarding final examinations should be brought to the attention of the course instructors and the ENG Registrar, (engrec@bu.edu).

More information can be found on the Registrar’s website.
