Hey everyone,

I have to defer an exam due to the stomach flu, so my question is that if approval does go through what happens with the review period after the exam period is over? I know there's two review periods: 1st review is on April 26 and the other one is at mid August. So would they have to skip the first review period and come back to the second review period? Because it would be unfair to do the first review when there's a missing mark.

please help if you know the answer.

I tried calling the associate dean's office, but the automated system is just plain stressful...they'll hang up on you if they're already in a call.

Here's the info on academic review:

that doesn't really answer my question. Would i still get reviewed on the first session regardless of a deferred exam?

If you completed 18 units then you will. If the deferred exam brings you down to 15 units completed then you won't. That's my understanding of it anyways.

Maybe around one week or less.
