Academic Integrity: Academic dishonesty is a serious business, with very serious consequences. Please be
familiar with the university policy on academic integrity (http://www.community.uconn.edu/academic_
integrity.html).
Students Needing Special Accommodations: Student athletes and students with disabilities: Inform
your instructor as soon as possible of your commitments as an athlete, any special needs that you have, etc.
This is your responsibility. You will expected to bring in a letter from the Athletics Department or the Center
for Students with Disabilities.
Religious observances: University Senate passed a motion on about religious observances which stipulated
that Students anticipating such a conflict should inform their instructor in writing within the first three weeks
of the semester, and prior to the anticipated absence, and should take the initiative to work out with the
instructor a schedule for making up missed work. For conflicts with final examinations, students should, as
usual, contact the Office of Student Services and Advocacy.
Final Exam Makeups: Final assessment week for fall 2015 takes place from Monday, December 10th
through Sunday, December 16th. Students are required to be available for their exam and/or complete an
assessment during the time stated in the Registrar’s Office Schedule. If you have a conflict with this time you
must visit the Office of Student Services and Advocacy to discuss the possibility of rescheduling this
assessment.
**NEW THIS YEAR** OSSA is REQUIRING that students who have a conflict about which they have or
should have had advanced notice (bunched, religious obligation, legal/medical appointments) MUST seek
permission to reschedule their assessment.
Please note that vacations, previously purchased tickets or reservations, graduations, social events, misreading the assessment schedule and over-sleeping are not viable excuses for missing a final assessment. If you
think that your situation warrants permission to reschedule, please contact the Office of Student Services
and Advocacy (2nd floor Wilbur Cross) to meet with a staff member.
