Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Osteopathic Medicine Program 2024–2025 161 All examinations have a time limit. Students are not permitted to memorialize examination questions in any form for distribution to others. Any violation of this policy will be considered academic dishonesty and the student will be subject to referral to the SPC. 3. Makeup Examinations Students are expected to take all examinations at their originally scheduled times, except when on an approved leave from studies or administrative break in enrollment (see Leave from Studies section). a. Late Arrival to an Examination Any student that arrives late to an examination (i.e., after the scheduled start time of the examination) will be refused admission to the examination room. The student will then be offered a makeup examination. Absent extenuating, unforeseeable circumstances, to be determined by the dean, late arrivals to an examination will result in a maximum grade of 70 on the makeup examination.
