Final Exam Scheduling

Learn how to request and schedule final exam dates.

Department Schedulers Request Final Exam Dates

Final exams are requested by department schedulers before the start of classes. Faculty should contact their department scheduler for any questions, changes or corrections to their final exam schedule. Department schedulers are responsible for ensuring that final exam information is submitted to the Office of the Registrar.

The final exam schedule is considered finalized on the last day of the first full week of classes.

Rescheduling Requires Student Agreement and Extenuating Circumstances

Once finalized, exam days/times cannot be changed without 100% student agreement. Changes after the finalized date require signatures from all students registered in the course. If signature collection is unduly onerous, instructors must provide alternate arrangements for students unable to take the exam at the revised time.

We cannot reschedule an exam unless extenuating circumstances exist; not due to preference alone.

Work with Students to Resolve Exam Conflicts

If a student is scheduled for two exams at the same time, or three or more exams on the same day, the instructors are required to work with the student to offer an alternative. Exams should be offered as scheduled and not during the last week of classes.
