PROCEDURE FOR STUDENTS WHO NEED TO
REQUEST A CHANGE IN EXAM DATE
It is expected that all students in the MD program will take exams
on the scheduled date and time. If an emergency occurs, or an extremely
important date/time conflict arises, and a student must request
a change in date or time of an exam, the student must follow the
following procedure.
1. The student needs to complete the “Change in Exam Date”
form, found in the Dean’s Office. The student then needs to
meet with Dean Goldberg to discuss the reason for the request. The
student may also discuss the request with the course coordinator,
if he or she wishes.
2. Dean Goldberg will then confer with the course coordinator regarding
the reason as well as faculty and exam availability. She will also
consider overall consistency regarding rescheduling requests and
contact the student with a decision.
3. If approved, the student will need to have the course coordinator
sign the form, with a rescheduled date and time identified.
4. If an emergency situation arises which prevents a student from
following the above procedure, the student should try and reach
Dean Goldberg in the Dean’s Office at 202-994-3176. If she
cannot be reached, leave a message and also page her at 202-605-8959.
5. Please remember that we operate under the assumption that all
exams will be taken on time, except for extreme situations. If you
arrive late for an exam, you will be expected to complete the exam
at the scheduled end time. If you do not receive permission to reschedule
an exam and do not show up for the exam, you will receive a “0”
on that exam.
