The cumulative GPA is determined by dividing the total number of quality points for all terms by the total number of credit hours attempted for all terms at Snead State.
Final Examinations are administered in each course at the close of each semester/term. Attendance for examinations is required. Special delayed examinations may be taken during the following semester/term by those students whom the Dean of Academic Services excuses from the first examination. Special examinations must be taken at the time designated.
Make-up examinations may be given when the instructor is convinced that extenuating circumstances prevented the student from taking he examination.
A student should notify the instructor, when at all possible, prior to missing an examination. The student must furnish acceptable proof for justification of the absence.
Make-up examinations may not be given by instructors when it is known that a flagrant violation of the attendance policy was made. It is the student's responsibility to report to the instructor any condition that causes an absence. If the instructor accepts the report as just cause for an absence, a time and place may be established for the make-up work.
If the student's reason for an absence seems to be irresponsible or negligent to the instructor, make-up work should not be given. In such case, the instructor shall advise the Dean of Academic Services of the circumstances. The student has the right appeal to the Dean of Academic Services.
