In the Spring Quarter ONLY, senior undergraduate students in their last quarter of academic work who have applied for a degree may arrange to be exempted from a final examination if the student's estimated grade for the entire term, as indicated by the instructor on the last day of the term, is passing and is sufficiently high so that his/her cumulative average will meet the grade point average required for graduation. (This is 2.0.)

NOTE: Under this policy the only reasons for not granting the exemption from a final examination are:

1. that the student's final grade is not passing,
   
2. that the student's cumulative average will not meet the grade point average required for graduation or,
   
3. that the course normally does not require a final examination.

Final exams for graduating seniors will be given the first day of the final examination period, regardless of the final examination schedule. Grades reflecting final examinations taken under these conditions are due at the end of the first scheduled day of final examinations in the Spring quarter.
