REMINDER: There is
never
a penalty for asking. There is no shame in trying and
not succeeding; however, there is shame in not trying
at all. NO MAKE UP EXAM.
NO MAKE UP EXAM
There are many students who come to the Advising Center because they thought they were in and attended classes for which they were NOT registered or conversely stopped attending courses for which they were registered but thought they had successful dropped. In the first case they lose the credits for work completed; in the second case they received F0s and are held fee liable for courses they thought no longer concerned them. Both of these misfortunes could be avoided if student would merely review and print their class schedules to make certain the estimation of their current enrollment matches reality.
Please review and print your class schedule this week and thereafter if any changes are made to it (e.g. add/ drop/ swap, etc.).
