4711 Final Examinations

Back to Board Policies

Final and/or Regents examinations shall be administered in all courses except as approved by the Building Principal. All students enrolled in a course in which a Regents examination is given shall be required to take that examination. The Regents or final examination mark shall serve as a final test for the course and will represent 1/5 of the student's grade.

If a student does not appear for a final exam/Regents exam, and the failure to appear is not due to illness or other legitimate reasons, a notation of "absent" is recorded and a "0" is averaged as 1/5 of the final grade. The taking of the final exam is an academic responsibility of the student.

On non-Regents exams, papers which are graded 62, 63, or 64 shall be circled and recorded as a 65%.
