Completing the Semester, Completing the Major Final Examinations Final examinations, for those courses in which instructors require them, are scheduled during the week following the last day of classes. Examination periods are two hours long. College policy prohibits the administration of final examinations during the last week of classes. The schedule of final examinations is posted throughout the campus several weeks before the end of classes and instructors giving final examinations in their courses announce in class the day, hour, and place of the examinations. Students with conflicts in their final examination schedule take one of the examinations during the scheduled hour and arrange in advance with the department office to take the other at another hour.
All final examinations are to be completed by the close of the final examination period.
If students must miss a final examination, notice should be given to the instructor or Department office in advance to avoid a failing grade on the examination. The instructor will determine if and when the final examination will be taken. Repeating Courses Students may repeat courses in which they earned grades of D or F to improve these grades. Students wanting to repeat a course in which a C or higher grade was earned must petition the Chairperson of the department in which the course is offered for permission to register for the course. The grade earned by retaking a course is the grade, other than W, counted in the cumulative grade point average.
