Several if not most Board members have kids some of which may be in college. So, I'd like your take on the following:

I scheduled make-up exams for the week before final exams week in the College's Testing Center (the last exam was October 28). This is stated in the class syllabus plus I stated it in class several times during the semester and in class durng the weeks before Thanksgiving and called out the names of students who did not take an exam when it was first scheduled. Also, the College publishes the academic schedule in its schedule of classes and I held a review for the final exam last week (the final is tonight). On October 14 and November 8 I posted announcements on the class's website about make-ups.

Question: at this point, ten (10) students failed to take their make-up exams last week. Should I tell them "tough" or something similar or should I let them take their make-ups?
