Schedule

Please refer to the Academic Calendar webpage for each semester’s final exam schedule. The final exam schedule is a PDF document listed on the left-hand side of the webpage.

Policies

1. Courses with any synchronous meeting pattern (in person or distance) are assigned a final examination time.
2. Individual faculty members may not change officially published final examination times.
3. No final examination may be given outside of the scheduled final examination time; no final examination time can be extended by individual faculty members.
4. Any course not having a final examination will meet as directed by the instructor during the scheduled examination time for a continuation of the regular class work.
5. Fully asynchronous courses are not assigned a final examination time. Asynchronous courses that include a final examination will indicate so on the syllabus and will administer that assessment asynchronously during the final examination period for that term.
6. Any student who has three or more final examinations scheduled for the same day may, no later than one week prior to the scheduled final exam time, work with the individual instructors to arrange alternative examination times.

Exemption from Final Examinations

Students who have attained an A or B prior to the finals, have completed all other course requirements, and have the instructors' permission may waive final examinations. This privilege is subject to several reservations.

1. Any unit examinations given during the final examination period are not subject to this policy.
2. Academic departments, as well as individual faculty, may adopt a policy excluding the final examination exemption for certain courses.
3. Mutual agreement between the instructor and the student to waive the final examination should be determined during the week prior to the beginning of the examination period.

The course grade will be the A or B earned exclusive of a final examination grade.
