Please be on time for the exams. After the first person completes the exam, turns in the paper and leaves the exam room, no late arriving people will be permitted to start the exam.
If you do not attend an exam, you will receive a grade of 0 (zero) for the exam. An exception to this rule will be made only in the case of a documented medical or family emergency. You must bring your UB Card to the exams.
In order to receive a passing grade in the course, you must have a passing exam grade. In other words, your average over the four exams must be a grade of at least 50% in order for you to receive a passing grade in the course.
