assignments and make arrangements to take the make-up exam. These arrangements must be
made at the next class meeting the student attends. A five percent (5%) penalty will be
assessed toward the final score of all make up assignments and exams at the discretion of
the Program Director. Therefore a 90% will be an 85%; a 77% will be a 72%; etc.

Missed clinical meetings must be made up. The student must make arrangements with his or
her respective clinical site for possible dates to make up sessions missed due to absence. These
sessions must be immediately communicated to the Program Director for final approval. It is
often necessary to schedule this time during the Fall Break, Christmas Break, or Spring Break. If
missed meetings are not made up before the end of the program, the student must do so after
commencement to complete program requirements. Such arrangements must also be scheduled
by the student and approved by the Program Director.
