Final Exams

Examinations

Final examinations are given at the end of most courses; however, not all courses will have a face-to-face exam.  Approximately one week is set aside for each examination period, and an attempt is made to distribute examinations for individual students evenly throughout this period. Final Exams are preschedule and will appear on the Registrar’s website at the start of a each semester.  Professors are expected to inform their classes of their final exam schedule at the start of every semester, and may only change the date or time of a scheduled final exam if they obtain the consent of the entire class.  

Absence from a final examination, except for the most compelling reasons, may result in a failure for the course.  If an absence is necessary due to a medical or personal reason, the student must file a petition to the College Board for an incomplete in the course. 

Comprehensive final exams may not be given (or due) during the last week of class, nor during the scheduled reading period.  Other examinations and tests may be given at any time during the course at the discretion of the instructor.
