If you have a legitimate reason for missing an exam, you must contact your instructor in advance to make arrangements. No makeup exam will be scheduled without your instructor's prior approval.
In fairness to all students in class, you must have a justifiable and verifiable reason for missing the exam.
Example: Missed exam due to illness. If you think you might miss the exam, telephone your instructor in advance. Be prepared to obtain a note from the Student Health Center, or other health professional, especially if you did not contact your instructor in advance.
Example: Missed exam due to travel with your sports team. If you're track team is traveling to the Nationals, that's great. Contact your instructor in advance and bring a note from your coach.
