Policy

Friday, December 11, is the last regular class day. All classes are required to meet during finals week at the designated times for examinations and/or for other recapitulations of the semester’s work. Exam periods must be used by faculty unless exemptions are arranged with the Dean of Undergraduate Studies. All final examinations should be held in the classrooms normally used for regular class sessions.

Students are required to take their final exams at the designated times. Reasons such as a ride leaving early, flight availability and schedules, participation in a wedding, family vacations, etc. will not be considered viable excuses to request early exams. The only reasons for modifications in the exam schedule are a death or a serious illness in the immediate family or illness of the student as certified by the University nurse or other medical professional.

It is the student’s responsibility to present a request for change in exam to the Associate Dean of Academic Services. Students who have four final exams on one day may submit a petition by email to theAssociate Dean of Academic Services requesting to have one final exam moved to an alternative day upon the approval of the professor agreeing to accommodate the student.

The penalty for not taking a final examination will be limited to a grade of zero for the exam to be averaged with other grades for the final grade in accordance with the grading system printed in the course syllabus.
