Midterm and Final Exams

What happens if I miss a midterm or final exam?
 If you cannot attend a midterm or final exam due to a valid excuse, you must submit your supporting documents to the Foreign Languages Department Secretariat within 5 working days along with an online petition. If your excuse is accepted, you will be given the right to take a make-up exam.
 Please note:

• Students who attend the exam and later submit an excuse will not be considered excused.
• Medical reports are valid for al exams that take place on the reported dates.
• If you sit an exam while officialy excused or on medical leave, your result will be invalid.
• Make-up exam dates are set and announced by the department during the semester.

What if I am late to the exam?
 Students must be at the exam venue at least 30 minutes before the official start time. Students who arrive after the exam has started will not be admitted.

Can I use my phone or electronic devices during the exam?
 No. All electronic devices (phones, smartwatches, tablets, etc.) are collected before the exam begins and returned at the end.

Can I take the exam without my student ID?
 No. Your student ID is required to enter the exam.

Can I choose my own seat in the exam hall?
 No. Seating is arranged by the invigilators.

What should I do if the code on my answer sheet does not match the code on my question booklet?
 It is your responsibility to make sure that the codes on your question booklet and answer sheet match. If you notice a mismatch, inform the invigilator immediately.

Can I see my exam paper?
 Yes. If you want to review your exam after the results are announced, you can do so together with your instructor by visiting the Testing Office of the Foreign Languages Department. A written petition is required.

How can I appeal my exam grade?
 You must submit a written petition within 5 working days after the results are announced. Your exam will first be checked by your instructor for clerical mistakes. If you are still not satisfied, a three-member committee assigned by the Department will re-evaluate your exam. The final decision will be communicated to you in writing within 10 working days.
