If an instructor must change the date and time of a final examination, the DEO must submit the request for an exception well in advance of the examination period and, if the request is approved, must ensure that the change in the examination time is acceptable to students in the class. Requests to give examinations before the final examination period ordinarily are not granted. Scheduling Adjustments for Individual Students Instructors may make arrangements with individual students to take final examinations at times other than the regularly scheduled time if circumstances warrant. For example, no student is required to take more than three examinations in one day. An undergraduate student who has two examinations scheduled for the same period or more than three examinations scheduled for the same day may file a request for a change of schedule at the Registration Center before the published deadline.
Graduate students make adjustments directly with their instructors.
The Registration Center sends the instructor the names of undergraduate students for whom changes have been approved and copies of their final examination schedules. The instructor must arrange makeup examinations and announce the arrangements to all students involved. Should a student have more than one makeup examination scheduled at one time, the lower numbered course takes precedence in the fall semester, the higher numbered course in the spring semester. Makeup examinations never have precedence over regularly scheduled examinations. If a student does not have a satisfactory excuse for missing a final examination, the instructor is justified in assigning an F in the course.
