From the syllabus:
** Midterm and Final Exam schedule conflicts must be resolved in advance.
** Approval to be excused from an exam is rare and will only be granted in cases of extreme personal emergency with written documentation. Students who are unable to take a scheduled midterm exam due to an emergency situation must apply to the instructor within 48 hours of the end of the exam. Midterm Makeups are at the sole discretion of the instructor, and a grade penalty will be invoked. There are no make-ups for the final exam.
