Any exceptions to these requirements must be approved by the appropriate dean. Other examinations are given at the discretion of the instructor.

A student who must be absent from a final examination should petition that instructor for permission to postpone the examination. A student absent without permission from a final examination is graded “F.” Postponed examinations result in a grade of “I.” The final exam must be taken within 120 calendar days from the end or the semester or the grade automatically becomes an “F.” (San Antonio College Bulletin, Faculty Handbook – January, 1995)

Being late to class or leaving early is both considered a form of absenteeism.
