If a student athlete is going to miss an exam because of travel to an athletic event, what mechanisms are in place to have the student complete the exam?
First, it is the responsibility of the student athlete to discuss such an event with the faculty member well prior to the event. The offices of the Counseling Program for Intercollegiate Athletes (CPIA) can also supply an official letter to the faculty member confirming the event. The student has at least three potential options at the faculty member’s discretion. They are: a) Take the exam early b) Take the exam late c) Arrange through CPIA to have the exam proctored by an academic counselor of CPIA while the student is on the trip Note that CPIA does not report to athletics but reports to the Provost’s Office and therefore provides independent proctoring of the exam.
