IMPORTANT: Policies for Emergencies During Final Exams

[Student Affairs]

IMPORTANT NOTICES REGARDING EXAM POLICIES

As the final exam period arrives, the Office of Student Affairs wishes to remind students of several important policies and procedures for this time:

1. Illness or Emergency During Exam Period: Students who experience illness or an emergency before or during an examination should contact Records and Registration (law-records@buffalo.edu; 716-645-2060) or the Office of Student Affairs (law-studentaffairs@buffalo.edu; 716-645-6223) immediately. IMPORTANT: Do NOT contact your professor as this will impact your anonymity during grading.

2. Exam Conflicts: The Records and Registration Office will reschedule all students with an exam conflict, per the examination conflict policy. R&R will email students' buffalo.edu email addresses after the resignation deadline for the 12 week session has passed. If you do not wish to have an exam rescheduled, contact the R&R at law-records@buffalo.edu.

3. Examination Rescheduling: Rescheduling is administered by the Office of Records and Registration and may not be negotiated absent exceptional circumstances.

4. Due Date for Final Submissions: Absent written documented permission of the Office of Student Affairs, all examinations, final papers, and/or projects that have been rescheduled for personal or medical reasons must be taken no later than two weeks after the end of the examination period.

5. Exam Accommodations: Students receiving exam accommodations will receive an informational email prior to the start of any midterm exam/final exam period including specific accommodation details. Each email is tailored to the individual accommodation for each student. Emails will be sent at least 24 hours prior to any midterm exam and one week prior to any final exam. This timing is contingent upon prompt memo submission to R&R. If you have any questions regarding your exam accommodations, please email R&R at law-records@buffalo.edu.
