The Student Code, as reprinted in the Student Affairs Handbook, states the following: "The student is responsible for knowing and meeting all course requirements, including tests, assignments, and class participation, as indicated by the course instructor. The instructor has no obligation to give make-up examinations or to review other class work missed by a student as a result of absence."

In general, computer science faculty members will not schedule make-up examinations and will not extend due dates for assignments except for the most serious of reasons (such as confinement in the hospital).
