Each school at the University has a Committee on Instruction. These committees determine examination policies and procedures and publish them in school bulletins. The Master University Examination Schedule on this page will help students plan examinations. Applied courses such as laboratories, research, and studio classes usually have final examinations during regular class hours. Courses on the 8000 level or above usually do not have final examinations, but instructors may give them if they wish.
Most students take about five final examinations.
The Master Examination Schedule is designed to minimize the number of examinations a student may take in one day. If your schedule seems congested, talk to your instructors. Sometimes alternative examinations may be available. If you have been scheduled for more than one examination in the same time slot, talk to your instructors. If the conflict cannot be resolved, see your dean.
