Department Course Schedules
and Examinations
Course
Schedules
An official
schedule of class meetings and times is published by
the Office of Registration and Records at the start
of each academic year. The administration of the Medical
School and faculty have carefully weighed the many factors
involved in a determination of course schedules. No
changes will be made in the schedule of required or
elective clerkships and courses except for minor adjustments
to meet unforeseen exigencies. These adjustments are
made by the Senior Associate Dean upon recommendation
of the Associate Dean for Student Affairs and the concerned
department chairperson.
Department
Examinations
Students
are obligated to take examinations at the time specified
in a general schedule of examinations or in individual
department schedules. Students may be excused from an
examination for:
- reasons
of illness, which must be documented by a note from
a physician and/or report from the Student Health
Office at Loyola addressed to the Associate Dean for
Student Affairs.
- 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 with the department concerned
to take a make-up exam within thirty days of their return
or as soon as a make-up exam is offered by the department.
Unauthorized absence from an examination normally will
result in a grade of zero for that examination, the
consequence of which in almost all cases is course failure.
Changes in the examination schedule for individual students
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
this decision will be final.
