Academic Policies

Final Examinations Policy

Except for laboratory classes, a final exam during exam week is required in all courses. Take home exams approved in advance by the department head may be used and are due at the officiially scheduled examination time.

Courses with four (4) or more sections may be grouped for a common exam if the department so wishes. There are several common exam periods during the week, and one will be assigned for a particular course.

During finals week, no student is obligated to take more than two (2) finals on any given day. Students may request relief by having special examinations assigned according to the following policy. This request may be made to the Provost's Office at least three days before the examination date.

  • In the fall and spring terms, the courses with higher course numbers will be asked to give a special exam (MKTG 346 is higher than ACCT 111).
  • In the winter and summer terms, the courses with lower course numbers will be asked to give the special exam (ACCT 111 is lower than MKTG346).

To request relief, please download the appeal form and submit it to the Office of the Provost in Main 102 at least three (3) days before the examination(s) in conflict are scheduled.
