SENATE POLICY ON CLASSES, SCHEDULES, AND FINAL EXAMINATIONS

Fall 2003 Final Exam Schedule

Spring 2004 Final Exam Schedule

Additional Information

All classes shall follow a standard examination schedule. For courses that do not run for a full semester, the final examination shall be administered (or due, in the case of take-home or other out-of-class examinations) on the last day of the course.

Instructors are not permitted to hold their final examinations ahead of the regularly scheduled time except under such unusual circumstances as may be approved by the Senate Committee on Educational Policy.

There shall be no other exceptions from the University final examination schedule unless (1) proposed by the instructor, (2) with the unanimous consent, via written secret ballot, of the students, and (3) with the concurrence of the division chair. The Registrar’s Office shall be notified of any change. This prohibition precludes moving a final examination from a scheduled time to the last or earlier meetings of the class (with the exception of take-home or other out-of-class finals, which may be distributed prior to the final exam week but which may not be due before the scheduled final exam for that course.

Students with final examination conflicts, or with three (or more) final examinations in one calendar day, or who have agreed to reschedule a final (in accord with the provisions of section 3, above) will be expected to make the appropriate rescheduling arrangements with the instructors by the end of the second week of the term so that conflicts will be eliminated. Instructors must agree to give an alternative final examination to any student having examination conflicts or three (or more) examinations in one calendar day.

The time of your examination is based on the hours and days the class is regularly scheduled. Unless otherwise announced, the exam will be held in the classroom in which the course is taught.

In determining the hours and days of your final exams from examination schedules:

—Go by the lecture hour rather than the laboratory or discussion hours.

—Follow the MWF sequence if your class meets on any or all of these days.

—Follow the TTh sequence if your class meets on any or all of these days.

—Courses that begin at 9:00, 11:00, 1:00, 3:00 or 5:00 will follow the TTh sequence but may be held in an alternate classroom.

—Use the first full class hour if your class meets more than one continuous hour.

—For courses that do not run for a full semester, the final exam shall be administered (or due, in the case of out-of-class examinations) on the last day of the course.
