The University’s policy is to schedule a final exam for every credited course at the end of each semester in both day and evening classes. The final exam period is utilized to bring closure to courses by evaluating, documenting and/or summarizing the learning experience. Some courses do not lend themselves to a traditional final exam (e.g. speech, techniques, design, and seminar). In these courses the final exam period will be utilized to bring an end to the educational experience using student presentations, individual student conferences or other appropriate educational activities. Exceptions to this policy must be approved by both the Department Chair and area Dean. Final exam periods are 2 hours in length, and can be on Monday through Saturday during final exam week. Final grades are due 72 hours after the final exam concludes. The due date for grades and a guide on how to enter final grades will be provided to faculty and adjunct faculty by the Office of the Registrar.
Students who are scheduled for more than one exam on the same day and time should work with the course instructors to determine a plan.
