Final Examination Policy

Classes are expected to meet at the scheduled final examination time as part of the required instructional time for the semester. If a final examination of any type is given in a course, it should be given at the time that the examination is officially scheduled during the final examination period. Students with questions regarding final examination periods should consult their instructors.

1. No student should be expected to write more than two (2) final examinations on the same day. Any students who are scheduled for more than two finals on the same day should arrange with their instructors to have alternative examination times prior to the final examination periods. Alternative examination times are available on Thursday and Friday of examination week.
