Notes:
- GPPH Final Exams are given during class hours.
- All GPPH classes require 45 contact hours. Due to holidays which fall on Mondays, Monday classes may be extended or additional dates may be scheduled to ensure the 45 hours.
Students should contact faculty prior to taking time off, including religious holidays. Arrangements must be made
for making up academic work missed. Per New York State Education Law, Section 224-a: "Any student in an
institution of higher education who is unable, because of religious beliefs, to attend classes on particular day or
days shall, because of such absence on the particular day or days, be excused from any examinations or any or work
assignments." All missed work must be made up at the discretion of the faculty.
