In order that students may complete semester projects, take lab tests, and prepare for final examinations, faculty members shall not give any tests or quizzes or assign any additional papers or projects during the final week of the semester. Regular homework assignments are permissible.   Exceptions to this policy must be approved in advance by the department head and the dean of the college involved.

Final examinations for regularly scheduled classes have precedence over common final examinations.  Instructors who give common final examinations should make arrangements for make up examinations on their courses.

Grade Report Rolls for ALL classes must be reported to the Department of Registration and Records within 48 hours after the scheduled completion time of the final examination.

 

REGULATIONS

1. No examinations may be given before December 8th

2.  Examinations will be held ONLY between the hours indicated.  Exceptions must be approved by the Dean of the College concerned.

3.  Courses having both recitation and laboratory hours should use the class hours for determining when the examinations will be given.

4.  In the schedule, the term ÒMondayÓ applies to classes having their first meeting of the week on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday; the term ÒTuesdayÓ applies to classes having their first meeting of the week on Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday (i.e., a class holding its first meeting of the week on Wednesday at 10:15 will take the examination as a Monday 10:15 class provided no student in the group has a regular class on Monday at that hour.  If so, the examination will be an ÒarrangedÓ examination.)

5.  Except for research, seminar, tutorial, or studio courses, final examinations should be given in all courses.  Exemptions may be granted by the faculty member responsible for a particular course or section provided prior approval is obtained from the department head.  Exemptions may be applied to whole courses, sections, groups of students, or individual students provided that these exemptions are applied equitably to all sections of multiple sectioned courses.

6.  No student shall be required to take three consecutively scheduled final examinations within any 24-hour period.  If students find that they have three consecutively scheduled exams, they should report to the department of Registration and Records before the exams are to be given, to have their schedules verified and to obtain a for approving their request to change the date of a specific examination as designated by the student.  They will take the form to the specified instructor or departmental office and arrange for a new examination date.  The instructor will enter the new date on the form and sign it.  The instructor and the student should both retain a copy.  The student shall be responsible for return of the form to the Department of Registration and Records, 1000 Harris Hall.
