The policy of The University of Iowa Facilities Services Group is to immediately stop construction when the work disturbs an examination in progress. Most single-sectioned courses have their examinations scheduled according to the time of the first weekly class meeting time. Courses having lower department numbers, or lower course numbers when the conflict is within a department, will take precedence. No student is required to take more than three examinations in one day. A potential problem may be eased by students closely checking the exam schedule.
Graduate students arrange for necessary adjustments directly with their instructors.
By Monday, December 4, names of students for whom changes have been approved and copies of their final examination schedules will be forwarded to instructors who must arrange for alternate examinations. By analyzing these schedules, instructors can plan alternate periods so that they fall at times that are free on the students' schedules. Instructors are to announce alternate arrangements to all students involved. Should a student have more than one alternate exam scheduled at one time, the lower numbered course will have precedence. However, alternate examinations never have precedence over regularly scheduled ones.
