ºÚÁÏÉçÇø

The Office of the University Registrar develops ºÚÁÏÉçÇø’s final exam schedules for fall and spring semester. They are applicable to all campuses except for MUDEC and graduate-level VOALC courses. Summer and winter term final examinations are usually given at the last class meeting.

Conflicts and Excessive Final Exams

Students who meet the criteria for a conflict or excessive exams must contact the instructor whose exam would move at least three weeks before final exam week begins.

Conflicts

A conflict occurs when a ºÚÁÏÉçÇø has two or more final examinations scheduled at the same time. In the event of conflicts, adjustments are made according to this schedule, regardless of campus:

• For fall semester, the course section whose subject three-letter abbreviation is nearest the beginning of the alphabet is adjusted.
• For spring semester, the course section whose subject three-letter abbreviation is nearest the end of the alphabet is adjusted.
• If both courses are within the same department, the higher course number is adjusted.

If the conflict is a result of one course instructor changing their final examination day/time, the instructor who changed their day/time must work out conflicts their ºÚÁÏÉçÇøs encounter.

Excessive Final Exams 

Excessive final exams are defined as a ºÚÁÏÉçÇø having:

• Four or more scheduled final examinations in any 24-hour period 
• Three or more scheduled final examinations in a given day

If a ºÚÁÏÉçÇø has four final exams in any 24-hour period or three final exams in one day, one of the exams may be changed to a later time with the consent of the instructor. If a ºÚÁÏÉçÇø has five or more examinations in a 24-hour period or four or more examinations in a given day, two of the exams may be changed to a later time with the consent of the instructor.

Changing a final exam to an earlier time can only occur with the consent of both the instructor and the dean of the academic division in which the course is given.
