You must complete this form if you cannot submit or complete a midterm or final exam or any other final evaluation (e.g., a take-home exam). You must complete the Declaration for each course for which you will miss this type of evaluation. Requests are handled according to the process in effect in the faculty responsible for the course. Please note that a non-refundable $60 administrative fee will be charged.

DON'T use the declaration form to report:

Your absence from a class, lab or quiz. Your late submission of an assignment, such as an essay or report.	Contact your instructor.
A direct scheduling conflict (two exams at the same time) An indirect scheduling conflict (three consecutive exams) A scheduling conflict due to your membership in a Gee-Gees varsity team	Contact the faculty affiliated with the course.
A request for religious accommodation	Check Academic Regulation A-5 - Religious Accommodations.

An absence from an exam cannot be declared more than three (3) working days prior to the start of the exam or three (3) working days after the exam.

For a short-term illness requiring a very short absence, supporting documents including medical certificates are NOT required the FIRST TIME you submit a Declaration for a given course, unless the absence occurred while the exam was already underway.

If you start an exam but cannot complete it due to a significant deterioration in your health or a situation requiring immediate or emergency medical attention, you need to submit a Declaration of absence and provide supporting documentation.

In the case of an illness that is not considered short term, you ARE required to submit a medical certificate at all times, whether or not it is your first absence from an exam in that course.

Refer to Exams | Study - in the section When an exam needs to be rescheduled and Academic Regulation A-8.6. for more information.
