Make-up Labs:
    Make-up labs will only be given for verifiable medical reasons or for absence due to official university activities. The student must have permissions from the professor and both TAs. It is up to you to inform me as early as possible if you will be missing a lab. No more than one "visiting" student in any lab section at a time.
    Permission is not automatic and may be denied due to lack of equipment, experiments requiring close TA scrutiny, or other circumstances.
    Physics labs take priority over specially arranged night exams. It is up to the instructor of the night exam to arrange a makeup exam if there is a schedule conflict.
