49 arrangements may be made with the professor for taking the exam at a different time. Faculty members, however, are not required to give an exam outside of the regular schedule in order to comply with student requests. No final exam may be taken after the scheduled test period with the exception of emergencies and, when an exception is granted, the exam must be completed by the end of final exam week. Additional time beyond the end of a semester or session requires extenuating circumstances and an approved course extension. COURSE EXTENSIONS Students are required to complete all course work during the semester or session (intersession or summer) in which courses are taken. Some students may need to reduce the number of classes taken each semester to accomplish this. The Seminary recognizes, however, that on occasion, extenuating circumstances may warrant the granting of additional time to complete course work. Such situations require the recommendation of the professor and the approval of the dean of student services. Extenuating circumstances include such events as a death in the family, a serious illness or accident that prevented the student from attending class or completing the work, birth of a child, and similar events that could not have been anticipated or prevented by the student. Events that would not be considered extenuating include being too busy, travel plans, employment demands, ministry commitments, and minor illnesses. Course extensions must be requested no later than the last day of the semester or session. Extensions will not be granted after the last day of the semester or session. Extensions, when granted, are for a period of one week to no more than eight weeks. Failure on the part of the student to complete all the required course work in the allotted time will result in a grade assignment based on course work completed through the last day of the approved extension period. For the fall and spring semesters, course extension forms and proper medical documentation (if applicable) must be requested and approved by noon on the Friday before the last week of the semester. For intersession or summer classes, course extension requests must be submitted and approved no later than noon on that last day of the session. Students in need of a course extension should request a Request for Extension of Course Work Due Date form available from the dean of student services. Once a decision is made, the student will be notified via email by the Registrar's Office. NOTE: Extension requests cannot be granted for a project or thesis and are not available to graduating students unless the graduation date is postponed.
