-
If your departmental graduate advisor agrees, he/she should write a letter to Dr. Butler-Purry in the Office of Graduate Studies requesting a retest. Requests should include the student's name, UIN, reason for retest request, most recent test date and score(s). Requests must be sent to Dr. Butler-Purry no later than the Thursday before the week of the exam (i.e. SEVEN BUSINESS DAYS).

If Dr. Butler-Purry approves the retest, the Office of Graduate Studies will notify Data and Research Services of your approval for the retest. Retest approvals must be received by Measurement & Research Services no later than the Friday before the week of the exam (i.e. SIX BUSINESS DAYS) before the exam so that these students can be included in the schedule which is emailed to students the Wednesday before the exam (i.e. THREE BUSINESS DAYS) before the exam.
