Mid-Semester Examinations
It is expected that all mid-semester examinations will occur during a
regularly scheduled class period of the course. For those multiple-section
courses in which it is impossible to offer mid-semester examinations during
the regular class period, the following requirements for offering the
examination at an alternate time must be met: (1) the course shall be
identified in the schedule of classes as requiring combined hourly
examinations at a time different from the regular class period; (2) the times
at which combined hourly examinations will be given shall be listed in the
schedule of classes; (3) the controlling academic dean shall approve such
action in advance; and (4) students whose schedules conflict with the time
scheduled for the combined examination shall be provided an alternate time for
taking the examination.
Final Examinations
All courses offered for credit shall include a final examination given at
the regularly scheduled examination time. No deviation from the exam schedule,
once it is printed, is authorized. All forms of examinations (quizzes,
take-homes, etc.) are prohibited on any scheduled class day during the week in
which regularly scheduled final exams begin. Specific exceptions for certain
courses may be granted by obtaining prior approval from the appropriate
department and academic dean. Students shall be informed of any such
exceptions prior to the end of the fourth week of classes.
