2026 Spring Semester (Last Class Day: April 24, 2026)

FACULTY ARE NOT TO MAKE CHANGES IN THE FINAL EXAMINATION SCHEDULE EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE STATEMENTS BELOW OR AS APPROVED BY THE PROVOST.

1. Final examinations in laboratory courses will be administered during the last laboratory period. Final examinations in other subjects carrying fewer than three hours credit may be administered on the last lecture day or at the time designated in the examination schedule. In the event of a conflict, courses carrying three or more credits take precedence for the exam time.
2. Final examinations for courses carrying three or more credits, but meeting fewer than three lecture days shall be administered at the time designated in the examination schedule except when conflicts of examinations with other courses occur at the same hour. When certain examinations within a department are scheduled at the same hour and a significant number of students would have conflicts, the department concerned should arrange for the examination to be administered during one of the Special Examination Periodslisted in the schedule. Departments scheduling special examsthat create a conflict for students with a regularly scheduled class exam are responsible to provide a make-up exam during another special exam period. If additional assistance is needed, please contact the University Scheduler.
3. Graduate-Level Courses: The professor teaching a Graduate-level course shall determine whether a formal final examination is appropriate. If one is to be given, it shall be scheduled at a time during the final examination period which does not conflict with scheduled examinations for other courses in which students in that course are enrolled. Generally, it is expected that the exam will be given at the time exams are scheduled for other classes meeting at the same hour.
