Have you ever been caught in a situation where a significant life event clashed with your Finals Week?

Well, worry not! I mean . . . do worry and make necessary arrangements. But that’s the unique thing about professors here at Scholastica. Given our balanced class capacities and workload distributions, professors are able, willing and more likely to accommodate unforeseen situations.

I am sure all of us occasionally have found ourselves stuck between two worlds leaving us with options like – final Exam and bestie’s engagement/baby shower/hockey game, to pick from. And deciding what’s more important can absolutely get tough sometimes. Only if . . . FINALS wasn’t an issue.

However, once you have met our faculty, you’ll notice that life events will always take priority over regular and scheduled institutional processes. Hence, if you are unable to make up your mind . . . no worries! However, making sure that you are not going mess up your performance level as well as Grade is solely your responsibility.

It can definitely get nerve-wrecking to approach a professor to discuss the same. Therefore here are some tips I personally suggest:

1. Email – Shoot your professor an email explaining your situation and request an opportunity to take the exam at a different time
2. Make an appointment – Schedule an appointment with the professor in their office hours. Present your case and ask for a reasonable accommodation.
3. Talk after class – Simply let your professor know your situation and request for a rescheduled exam

Our one-on-one relations with professors helps us connect and engage at a more efficient wavelength making conversing even easier. I am more than sure, if you try any one of these methods with our CSS professors, your Finals rescheduling stress will be gone in a blink!

Hope you all do the needful.
