If you have a valid schedule
conflict with one of the midterm exams, you must contact
your TA by email at

week before the exam to arrange to take it at an alternate (early)
sitting. Valid conflicts include having another exam at the same date
and time, being a varsity athlete with an out-of-town game at the
