What to do if problems arise
Occasionally students experience serious problems which affect their ability to complete their coursework on time. If you experience medical problemsÌýor other personal problems which prevent you from devoting sufficient time to your courses or exams, please see your course instructor and/or an OASIS Faculty advisor.
If the situation interferes with the submission of term papers, the writing of midterm tests, or other class work, consult with the course instructor. It may be possible to arrange for make-up tests or extensions of deadlines. The instructor will require supporting documentation in the form of a doctor's letterÌýor other relevant documents.
If you are unable to write formal final exams, or feel that withdrawal from courses or the University after the normal deadline may be necessary, you should consult with a Faculty advisor at OASIS. If special arrangements are to be made, supporting documentation will be required.
Consult the Course and University Withdrawal pageÌýfor detailed information on these academic options.
