Final Exam Schedule

Fall 2009 classes ends: Friday, December 11
Study Days: Saturday, December 12 and Sunday, December 13
Final exam period: Monday, December 14 - Friday, December 18 

The general exam time codes will remain the same: A = 8:00–10:00; B = 10:30–12:30; C = 1:00–3:00; D = 4:00–6:00 and E = 7:00–9:00. There will be three “special or open” exam time slots; day 1 (Mon. 12/14), day 3 (Wed. 12/16), and day 5 (Fri. 12/18) as noted in the chart below. The 5-day exam schedule reduces the number of open time slots, therefore academic departments and faculty wishing to combine exams will need to be mindful of the limited available rooms, enrollment capacities, and potential student conflicts when thinking about scheduling final exams differently than the established schedule.

Final Examination Policy

Final examinations or last examinations for semester and second quarter courses must be given during the final examination period (except for second quarter, modular, and workshop courses). NO quizzes, in-class exams or tests of any type (except lab exams) are permitted after Monday, December 7, 2009, unless special permission is granted by the appropriate school Dean. NO exams, tests or projects are to be scheduled or given on the study days – Saturday, December 12 and Sunday, December 13.

Students are NOT required to take more than two finals in one day. Make-up exams will be given AFTER the regularly scheduled exam, at a common time established by the instructor after consulting the student(s). Problems with exam conflicts or the third final in one day are to be resolved as follows:

  • For a Special Exam: a make-up exam will be scheduled by the instructor at the student’s request.
  • If a Department Exam conflicts with a non-special exam - the department exam instructor will schedule a make-up exam at the student’s request. If the student’s request is refused, the student should appeal to the Dean of his/her respective school. Medical excuses from final exams MUST be obtained from the Dean of the student’s major upon presentation of the attending doctor’s statement.
