What is a Make-up Exam?

Make-up exams are exams that take place within a week after the mid-term exam for students who were unable to attend the regular mid-term exam due to valid and justifiable reasons. If their reasons are accepted by the relevant management boards, the make-up exams will be held on dates determined by these boards during that semester.
