HPD Student Handbook | 2019 - 2020

98 College of Medical Sciences 2019–2020 Test forms submitted represent a student’s final answer and will be scored as marked. Answers not marked on the OCR form during the allotted examination time will be scored as incorrect. Examinations will be scored based on the test form identified by the student on the OCR form. Make-up Examinations Students are expected to take all examinations at their originally scheduled times, except when on an approved leave of absence (see Leave of Absence section). The ability for a student to take amake-up examination when an examination is missed is subject to approval of the facultymember and pursuant to the guidelines of the course syllabus. When an examination is missed, it is the responsibility of the student to contact the professor within 24 hours of the missed examination. The student must supply the reason the examination was missed. If the student misses the make-up examination, he or she will receive a zero for that examination. The policies for examinations will pertain to all make-up examinations. The format of a make-up examination may differ from the format of the originally scheduled examination. Course Retake Any first-year student who receives a final course grade of C will be eligible to retake the course(s) in the second year of the program, if the total number of credit hours does not exceed 7 credits. A course retake for a second-year student is permitted only if the student has not exceeded 7 credit hours with a final course grade of C . Course Remediation There is no course remediation for students enrolled in the Master of Biomedical Sciences program. Withdrawal and Leave Withdrawal from a Course Withdrawal from a course or courses must be distinguished from withdrawal from the college (see Withdrawal from College section). Students may not elect to withdraw from any required course. However, the college may require withdrawal from courses (see Leave of Absence section). A student withdrawing from courses will receive a W on his/her transcript coursework. The withdrawal period starts with the first week of the course and ends three weeks prior to the end of the course. Students are required to be actively involved in all courses they are registered in. During the first two-weeks of each term, faculty members will reconcile their course registration with those attending class. Students who are not attending classes, and therefore not included in the roster reconciliation, will be reported to the NSU Office of the Registrar and will be notified that they will be withdrawn from those courses.
