Final examinations | Fall 2021

The default of final exam times

All classes default into a final exam time based on the default of final exam times. Your assigned final exam time may differ from the default.

Not all classes hold final exams. Check your class syllabus to see whether or not there will be a final exam for your class.

Some departments test all students in multiple classes at the same time (“Uniform” or "Departmental" exams). Uniform exam times may differ from the default.

Contact your instructor or department for specific class information.

Final exam days

Thursday, December 9–Saturday, December 11

Monday, December 13–Wednesday, December 15

Final examinations for classes that begin at days or times not listed above default to the closest standard class beginning time. For example:

• T 3:00 pm–6:00 pm classes default to the same exam time as TTH 3:30 pm–5:00 pm classes.
• TTH 1 pm-2:30 pm classes default to the same exam time as TTH 12:30 pm-2 pm classes.

If the beginning time of the class is exactly halfway between two standard class beginning times, the class defaults to the later time. For example:

• WF 2:30 pm–4:00 pm classes default to the same exam time as MWF 3:00 pm–4:00 pm classes.
• TTH 1:15 pm-2:45 pm classes default to the same exam time as TTH 2:00 pm-3:30 pm classes.

Uniform exams

Some departments test all students in multiple classes at the same time (“Uniform” or "Departmental" exams).

Uniform exam times may differ from the default, and all Uniform exams also hold an official makeup exam. Uniform and makeup exams are published as part of the final exam schedule.

When are final exam schedules available?

We publish the final exam schedule about a month before the end of the semester.
