Academic Reminders

V. FINAL EXAMINATIONS

NO Final Examinations may be scheduled prior to Monday of final exam week.  (Saturday classes have their Final Examination on the last Saturday before the final examination week.)

Individual students are entitled to request a change in their final examination times if they have more than two finals scheduled for the same date.  Should an examination date need to be changed, the course with the highest # is the one to be rescheduled.  If course #'s are identical, then the department whose prefix is alphabetically earlier is rescheduled.  The student needing to change exam times must request this in writing at least two weeks before the last class meeting.  In the case of an individual instructor's hardship, instructors have the discretion to reschedule a final examination with both: a) the recommendation of the Department Chair AND b) the concurrence of the Dean and Registrar.  All rescheduled final examinations must occur during final examinations week.
