Late Exam Request, Make Up Exams, & Rescheduling

SAS will attempt to schedule late exam requests on the original exam date as close to the class testing time as possible. SAS will reschedule the exams as spaces are available.

Instructor will be informed of the exam timings for all late exam requests. If you are not agreeable with the timing of the exam, please contact SAS-Exams@usf.edu.

If SAS does not receive permission to administer a late, make-up, or rescheduled exam, instructors are responsible for facilitating testing accommodations.

In order to reschedule an exam at SAS, testing proctors (sas-exams@usf.edu) must receive written email authorization from the instructor or TA granting permission for the student to reschedule the exam. Final exams will not be rescheduled in SAS. Students should work with their instructors to reschedule final exams.

Late Student Arrival

If a student arrives more than 15 minutes late to their scheduled SAS exam, SAS will allow them to take the exam using what remains of the student鈥檚 scheduled exam time.

Illness

If you are unable to take an examination due to illness or emergency, contact your instructor immediately and make appropriate arrangements. It is the student's responsibility to reschedule examinations or to request adjustments to testing times.

No Show

If you do not show up for a scheduled exam, SAS will NOT email you or your instructor. It is your responsibility to contact your instructor or TA if you need to reschedule any missed exam in SAS. Please see the statement below regarding rescheduling exams in SAS.
