Final Exam Conflicts
Final examinations or class meetings during final examination week must be held at the time and place listed for each course in the Final Examination Schedule. All classes are expected to have some instructional or evaluative activity during the final examination time. If an examination is given, with the department chairperson or school director and dean's permission, at some time other than scheduled, then it must still be available to one or more students at the officially scheduled time.
There is a possibility that a student may have a scheduled conflict, and instructors are expected to make suitable arrangements for those students. Students who have conflicts or more than three examinations on the same day should consult the dean of his/her college at the earliest possible time for assistance in making suitable alternative arrangements.
In some cases two different courses that begin at different times between 4:25 p.m. – 7 p.m. may both be scheduled for the same final exam time. In this case, the conflict is for the course, not the individual student. Instructors of courses that meet in that time period should take care to coordinate the day and/or room of the final examination. In cases where there are two meetings per week, one class could use the second meeting time. In cases where both classes have only one meeting time, conflicts may be resolved, with permission from the Financial, Billing and Enrollment Center, by using the block final examination time; by using another room for one of the conflicting courses; or by using a later time, if rooms are available.
