Our protocol is that if the student obtains an 'excused absence' from the Student Affairs office (documented), then
the student MAY take the iRAT ahead of the missed session OR after the session OR be given their mean iRAT score for that
course; they get their group's score for the other components. If a student doesn't show, then they get a zero which is a big ouch.
In all our 10+ years, we've probably had only 2-3 no-shows and very few tardies either since we start the iRAT right on time.
