Our understanding in Admissions is that last year there was a significant increase in deferred exams due to the new policies in place. At times students applying to professional programs forget that deferred exams might affect their admission.
As you are meeting with students who are requesting deferred exams, we would ask that you remind them that if they are applying to any profession undergraduate programs they should do the following:
Below is the statement we have across all of our Bulletins:
It is the applicant’s responsibility to inform the Admissions Office in writing of any deferred exams or grade changes. All final grades, including grade changes must be submitted to the Admissions Office by
the document deadline in order for them to be included in the final selection process. Grade changes will not be accepted after the documentation deadline date.
If a grade is not available by the documentation deadline date, an ‘F’ grade will be used in the final admission determination and calculation.
If you have any questions about our process or regarding a specific student, feel free to contact our office.
