Index of final examination times.

Wednesday, December 10–Saturday, December 13

Monday, December 15–Tuesday, December 16

The final examination date and time for a class is determined by the class meeting time as listed in the above index. Final examinations for classes that meet at times not listed in the above index are normally scheduled with classes meeting at the indexed time that most closely corresponds to the beginning day and time of the class. For example, the exam for a class that meets T 3:00–6:00 PM will be at the same time as exams for classes that meet TTH 3:30–5:00 PM. If the beginning time of the class is halfway between two standard class beginning times, the class will be grouped with those meeting at the later time. For example, the exam for a class that meets MW 2:30–4:00 PM will be at the same time as exams for classes that meet MWF 3:00–4:00 PM.

Uniform examinations and their correspondent makeup exams are scheduled for certain courses that administer examinations at the same time for all students enrolled in the course. Generally, these examinations are given at times other than the regular examination time. A list of uniform and makeup examinations will be printed in the final examination schedule distributed prior to the end of the semester.

Questions about the final examination schedule should be directed to the department offering the course.

Uniform exams

Uniform exams, also known as departmental exams, occur when
an academic unit administers a single test to students in multiple
classes at the same time.

Since at least some of the students’ default exam periods will be
changed as a result of the uniform exam, a make-up exam must be
scheduled to accommodate any students with scheduling conflicts. Also,
uniform exams and their required make-ups may only be conducted during
specific exam periods in order to further minimize conflicts in the
students’ schedules as well as to help ensure room availability. This
page contains a table indicating which exam periods are approved for
uniform and make-up exams for each semester.

Departments will indicate their preferences for exam time, make-up time, and room assignment via the online final exam request system.  

Academic units are responsible for ensuring that their exam requests
do not conflict with their own or another department’s exams and should
coordinate their requests accordingly.
