What to Do When You Have a Midterm Conflict

A midterm conflict occurs when you encounter the following situations:

• Two midterms at the same time, or with significant overlap.
• Midterms conflicting with a scheduled class.
• Varsity sports requirements.
• Known absence (i.e., scheduled medical procedure).

To report a midterm conflict, please complete the Relief for Mid-Term Conflicts Form. This form should only be used if you know in advance that you have a conflict with a scheduled midterm.

• Missing a midterm for a religious observance must go through the RISO process and should be applied for at the start of term (or as soon as the observance is known if dates fluctuate).
• Missing a midterm for any other reason (e.g., illness) must go through the MSAF-AR process.

Once midterm conflicts are verified by the Student Experience, Commerce Office, there may be multiple resolutions. If 10 business days’ notice is given and the instructor approves, the Student Experience office will schedule a re-write of the test. Otherwise, the instructor will decide how the missed midterm will be resolved.

Please note that a student can only miss a maximum of 35% of coursework in a single course. This includes missed midterms that are not re-written.
