Final Examination Policy
It is University policy that all final examinations be given during the scheduled final
examination period. In courses in which no final examination or other class activity is scheduled during the final examination period, no examination should be scheduled during the final week of classes nor during the Reading Period. Non-cumulative exams must be scheduled during the final examination period if there is no cumulative final for the course.
Noncumulative exams may be scheduled during the last week of classes only in classes in which an additional final exam is scheduled during the final examination period. This policy applies to both undergraduate and graduate courses. Complaints of violation of the formal policy on examinations in the final week of classes should be directed to the Department Head/Chair. If a faculty member is then found to have violated this policy, the Head/Chair will be responsible for ensuring that a make-up or alternative examination, similar in content and structure, is scheduled during the appropriate final examination period, and that all students in the course are notified of this option prior to the administration of the examination during the final week of classes.
Further, it is University policy not to require students to take more than two final
examinations in one day of the final examination period. If any student is scheduled to take three examinations on the same day, the faculty member running the chronologically middle examination is required to offer a make- up examination if the student notifies the instructor of the conflict at least two weeks prior to the time the examination is scheduled. The student must provide proof of the conflict. This may be obtained from the Registrar's Office, 213 Whitmore.
In addition, it is University policy that if a student is scheduled to take two final examinations at the same time, the faculty member teaching the course with the higher final digit (or digits) in its class number (the unique 5-digit number which represents a particular section in the Schedule of Classes) is required to offer a make-up examination.* Proof of the conflict must be provided by the student (for final examinations, this may be obtained from the Registrar’s Office).
All make-up final examinations caused by schedule conflicts must be given during the calendar period of the final examination schedule. Make-up examinations may be scheduled during hours that fall outside the normal examination time periods.
*For
example, if examinations for ENGLISH 172 (class #71123) and MATH 132
(class #27514) are scheduled at the same time, a student enrolled in
both courses will have a make-up examination provided by the instructor
in Math.
In the unlikely event of a delayed opening or official closing of the
University during the final exam period, please refer to the Housing
Services Cable News Network, the University Emergency Closing Web page,
or a paper copy of the instructions titled "Rescheduling Of Final Exams
On Official Snow Days" which is widely distributed several weeks before
the final exam period.
Important Notes
Students enrolled in courses with conflicting scheduled exams or who have three or more exams scheduled in one calendar day should contact the Registrar's Office for assistance in resolving the problem.
When it becomes available, the full final exam schedule is published
right here on the Registrar's Web site. Each student's own final exam
schedule is also available to him/her through SPIRE. To view it, log in
to SPIRE and select "Student Home," then "Final Exam Schedule."
The exam schedule occasionally has to be updated after
publication to accommodate unique scheduling situations. In these
cases, the Registrar's web site and SPIRE will be updated to reflect
the most up to date information. |
