Copy Requests (Research): Copy requests for research related materials need to be done through Pro-Copy (http://www.pro-copy.com). Research-related copying is the faculty member's responsibility as the department does not have the resources to pay for these services.

Make-Up Exams should be proctored by the TA or instructor when possible. If the student, instructor, and TA are unable to find a time that works for all parties, please contact the IB Office. Office staff may be available to proctor make-up exams during normal office hours (8am-4pm) but require a 48-hour notice to ensure that someone is available. Office staff will have the student place their belongings in a cabinet and seat them at an empty table. Office staff may need to return to work while the student is taking the exam and are not responsible for any academic integrity issues.
