No permission will be given, for any reason, to schedule final examinations during the last week of classes or the designated study period preceding final examinations. Permission will be given by the Dean of the Faculty to reschedule examinations during the examination period itself if requested in writing by the faculty member, but only on condition that a comparable examination also be given for those students who wish to take it at the time the examination was originally scheduled. The faculty member requesting such a change shall be responsible for making appropriate arrangements for rooms or other facility in which to give the examination. This is done at the Registrar's Office. Papers may be required of students during the study period if announced sufficiently far in advance that the student did not have to spend a significant segment of the study period completing them.
Faculty can require students to submit papers during the week preceding the study period.
Take home examinations should be given to classes well before the end of the regular term and should not be required to be submitted during study period but rather well into the examination period. Although not specifically prohibited, it is University policy to discourage more than two examinations for a student in one twenty-four hour time period and especially on any one day. Students have a right to examine their corrected exams, papers, etc. to allow them to question their grading. Exams, papers, etc., as well as grading records, should be retained for a reasonable time after the end of the semester, preferably till the end of the following term, to afford students such right of review. According to federal law, grades are restricted information and may be released only to the student or at the student's written request.
