Class Schedules and Examinations
A. Class Schedules
An official
schedule of class meetings and times is published
by the Office of Registration and Records at the start
of each semester. The Medical School administration
and faculty have carefully weighed the many factors
involved in a determination of class schedules. No
changes will be made in the schedule of classes except
for minor adjustments to meet unforeseen exigencies.
These adjustments are made by the Senior Associate
Dean upon recommendation of the Associate Dean of
Student Affairs and the department chairperson.
B. Examinations
A schedule
of examination dates is published by the Office of
Registration and Records at the start of each semester.
It is the student's responsibility to ascertain the
exact time, place and format of all announced exams
from the department. Students are obligated to take
examinations at the times specified in a general schedule
of examinations. Students may be excused from an examination
for:
- reasons of illness,
which must be documented by a note from a physician
and/or the Student Health Office at Loyola addressed
to the Associate Dean for Student Affairs, or;
- any other emergency
situation in which evidence can be provided to
the Associate Dean for Student Affairs to justify
absence from a scheduled examination.
Students
excused from an examination by the Associate Dean
for Student Affairs for an acceptable reason are
responsible for making arrangements for the make-up
examination with the department concerned prior
to the original date of the examination or immediately
upon return to class in cases of sudden illness
or emergency situations. Unauthorized absence from
an examination normally will result in a score of
zero for that examination, the consequence of which
in almost all cases is course failure. All make-up
examination schedules must be approved by the Associate
Dean for Student Affairs in advance.
Changes
in the examination schedule for individual students,
except in cases of illness, emergency or personal
tragedy, will not be granted. Changes in the examination
schedule which are requested by the great majority
of a class may be submitted to the Senior Associate
Dean. After consultation with the department chairperson
concerned, the Director of Registration and Records,
and the Associate Dean for Student Affairs, the
Senior Associate Dean will rule on the request and
his decision will be final.
