Final Exam Schedule

Unless otherwise noted, final examinations take place at the same time the class regularly meets. During Summer Quarter, exams are held on the last day of classes.

Notes

1. With the permission of the Vice Chancellor for Acdemic Affairs, the final examination may be postponed or moved to an earlier time within the examination period if agreed to by all students and the instructor. Before approving the rescheduling of a final examination, the Vice Chancellor shall obtain assurances that the change will not have an undue adverse impact on the students. The Vice Chancellor shall notify the Office of the Registrar of the approval granted for the date of a final examination.
2. An instructor shall not, except in very unusual circumstances, grant permission to individual students for an early examination. If the student is unable to take an examination on the scheduled date, the procedure outlined in the following paragraph should be followed.
3. A student absent from any examination due to illness or other cause judged by the instructor to be unavoidable shall be given an opportunity to take a rescheduled examination or perform work judged by the instructor to be equivalent.
   
   If the instructor determines that neither alternative is feasible during the quarter, the instructor may exempt the student from the requirement. Examples of unavoidable causes include death or serious illness in immediate family, illness of the student, and, provided previous notification is given, observance of regularly scheduled religious obligations, and might possibly include attendance at academic conferences or field trips, and/or participation in University-sponsored activities such as debating contests or athletic competitions. Students are responsible for taking any number of examinations for which they are scheduled on a given day.
4. If an examination is held during finals week at a time other than the schedule indicates, instructors must check with the Office of the Registrar to make sure the room is available.
5. Questions concerning the examination schedule should be directed to the Office of the Registrar, Room Scheduling at (253) 692-4401.
