Any student missing a test that fails to notify the instructor within 24 hours of the missed test will not be allowed to makeup the missing exam.

Students must register with Student Disability Services and provide appropriate documentation to Ithaca College before any academic adjustment will be provided.

COURSE EVALUATIONS
