Note Regarding Final Examination Schedule for Fall and Spring Semesters
The registrar establishes the final examination schedule for most classes. The schedule, available on the registrar’s website, assures that students will have no more than two final examinations scheduled for the same day, which is official university policy. In addition, the university expects that instructors will give final examinations at the officially scheduled time, not during class time or during the reading period. Students who are concerned that any of these policies are being violated by their instructors should notify their academic advising office.
