Exam Policies and Guidelines

All exams should be taken at scheduled times. Students must notify the class instructor of absences prior to the exam by phone, text or email. An arrangement needs to be made with the instructor to make-up the exam at the next scheduled class time. If not, zero points will be given. Only one exam per course can be rescheduled. There will be a 10-point deduction on all rescheduled exams.
If the test is not surrendered at the designated time, the student will be given a zero for that test. A violation of this type can result in dismissal from the Nursing Program.

Instructors are given the decision prerogative on make-up tests and can institute the following without prior announcement:

Adding questions
Constructing tests or quizzes in any form, i.e., written, objective, essay, or oral
Adjusting the environment for test security.

No electronic devices will be allowed during examination time. All electronic devices emitting distracting noises will result in immediate termination of the student s exam. If calculators are allowed, the calculator must be an independent device not associated with phones or other electronic devices.

All exams are reviewed after all students have taken the examination. If a student desires to further review the exam, an appointment must be made with the instructor.

Student Personal items must be left in designated areas.

THERE Will BE NO MAKE-UP OPPORTUNITIES FOR QUIZZES.

Students who obtain less than 80% on any test are strongly encouraged to:

Meet with nursing faculty for further test review
Schedule a follow-up remediation with the Instructor or Nursing Academic Advisor for study and test evaluation/skills.
