Final Exams

The MWF sequence includes classes meeting MWF, MW, MF, daily; or four times per week beginning Monday, except where a combined examination is indicated. The TT sequence includes classes meeting TT, Tu, or Th, or four times per week beginning Tuesday, except where a combined examination is indicated. The times indicated below are for classes beginning at the standard time. Classes that begin at non-standard times (such as MWF 3:30 p.m. or TT 2:00 p.m.) should refer to the immediately preceding standard start time. Thus, a MWF 3:30 class would use the MWF 3:00 start time when reading the schedule.

Final Examination Policies

If a class is entirely laboratory, the first hour of meeting determines the examination period. In case of lecture and laboratory, the lecture hour determines the examination period. Examinations are held in classrooms in which the classes regularly meet at the time indicated in the examination schedule. Semester examinations for individual members of a class are not permitted before the time set for the examination. All final examinations shall be given according to the schedule published in this Schedule of Classes. If a final examination is not given in a class, the class shall meet for regular work at the examination time. More than two final examinations in any one day of the final examination period shall entitle students to petition their deans to have the final examination(s) in excess of two in one day shifted to some other day of the final examination period, which is mutually convenient for both the students and the faculty members involved.

The deadline date for students to petition for relief from their final examination schedule if they have more than two final examinations in one day is April 16, 2021. Students should petition directly to the dean of the college of their major field.

Note: If the final exam schedule results in conflicts in examination times for students, or if students petition to have examinations shifted as a result of their having more than two examinations in a single day, the following preference order determines which examinations will retain the time originally scheduled:

1. MTH 115, 119, 121, 122, 223, and COM 103 will retain the original exam time.
2. The class section with the highest enrollment will have next preference.
3. Then, the course with the lowest course number will have preference.
4. In some cases, combined examinations may cause conflicts or cause a student to petition for relief from more than two exams in one day. If a student has a conflict as a result of a combined exam, the instructor with the combined exam must offer the makeup exam.

Attention: If a course section is listed in the combined exam schedule, the exam for that course section will be given as outlined in the combined exam schedule below. Consequently, the regular final exam schedule, as outlined above, will not apply to that specific combined exam course section(s).
