Instructor Discretion as to Exam Administration

[from Interpretations and Applications of the Honor Code]

2. f) Instructor Discretion

"Procedures falling under instructor discretion would include exam location, alternate times for exams, and alteration of due dates. Tests will be taken from the classroom only with the consent of the instructor."

For additional information, please examine the rest of our website, which includes the Student Judicial Charter of 1997, outlining the rights and responsibilities of all participants in our process, the Honor Code and Fundamental Standard, and important Interpretations and Applications of the Honor Code.

Also, please see the Stanford Bulletin, in particular the section therein titled "Academic Policies and Statements," which contains detailed provisions on examinations, including:

"If unforeseen circumstances prevent the student from sitting for the regularly scheduled examination, instructors should make alternative arrangements on an individual basis. Such unforeseen circumstances include illness, personal emergency, or the student's required participation in special events (for example, athletic championships) approved as exceptions by the Committee on Undergraduate Standards and Policy (C-USP)."
