MSAF for two midterms on same day?
I was not feeling well and want to use the MSAF for my midterm. But I have two of them on the same day, can I use the MSAF for both of them? when I submit do i simply specify both courses?
Both midterms combined is greater than 30% but individually they are not, does that affect the way I could use the MSAF? will it still apply?

If anyone has any information please help

You can use an MSAF for anything within a 5-day period, and how much it's weighted combined doesn't matter.

You can only use MSAF once a term, so I don't believe you can use it for both your tests.

yes you can use the MSAF for both courses. As long as they are not worth more than 30% individually, you should be fine. I did it before.

If anything, it'd be more suspicious to MSAF only one of them. What if your prof somehow finds out and asks why you were too sick to write his midterm, but well enough to write the other?

...That's assuming you actually are sick. Not that anyone doubts your story or anything.
