Final Exam Schedule

Times for final examinations are scheduled in one of two ways:

1. For most classes, exams are determined by the first hour of the first scheduled class meeting (classes meeting Monday, Wednesday, or Friday follows the "Monday" schedule and classes meeting Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday follow the "Tuesday" schedule);
2. Some classes have "combined" exams, where several sections of the same course meet together during finals week for the exam.

All exams are scheduled for two hours and are usually given in the same classroom unless instructors have made other arrangements.

Students can find out when and where their final exams will be held from their professors. Also, approximately the third week of each term, final exams can also be viewed on the current term's online class schedule and on DuckWeb (click on Student Menu, then Student Class Schedule and scroll ahead to the week of finals).

Early Examinations

Final examinations must be given during the scheduled final examination period. Faculty legislation prohibits the early administration of final examinations. Final examination week is considered to be a part of the regular term, and to end the term prior to its scheduled date reduces instructional days to which students are entitled.

Dead Week

Faculty legislation controls the assignments that may be made during the last week of regular classes, commonly known as "Dead Week:"

In the week preceding final examinations during Fall, Winter, and Spring terms:

• No examination worth more than 20% of the final grade will be given, with the exception of make-up examinations.
• No final examinations will be given under any guise.
• No projects will be due unless they have been clearly specified on the class syllabus within the first two weeks of the term.
• Take-home examinations will be due no earlier than the day of the formally assigned final examination for the class in question.

Questions about this policy should be addressed to the Provost's Office, 346-3186.

Multiple Examinations

Students are encouraged to review the schedule of final examinations (see below) prior to registering to avoid conflicts or multiple examinations in a single day. Students who are scheduled for more than three examinations in one day can make arrangements to take an examination at an alternate time later in the week. The Office of Academic Advising, 364 Oregon Hall, assists students with multiple examination problems.

Examination Conflicts

In the event that a student is scheduled for two or more exams at the same time, the following policies assist with resolving the conflict:

• For regular courses with examinations scheduled at the same time, the course with the largest enrollment must provide an alternate examination;
• For conflicts between regular courses and combined examinations, the combined examination course must provide the alternate examination;
• For combined examinations with conflicts, the largest combined enrollment course must provide the alternate examination.

These procedures were approved by the Undergraduate Council effective Spring 2003. Students with examination conflicts may contact the Office of Academic Advising, 364 Oregon Hall, for assistance.
