When, for any reason, a student is unable to complete course work on time, including the taking of an examination, remedial work should be scheduled so that its performance, including preparation for any remedial examinations, does not interfere with the ongoing academic work of the semester in question. As a result, the remedial work should ordinarily not be scheduled until the end of the semester.

Students cannot be promoted or begin course work for the next year until all academic deficiencies have been satisfied.
