Spring 2020 Regular Academic Session 1 Exams

For all Undergraduate divisions and the Graduate School

• Two hours are allowed for each examination.  Unless otherwise stated in the course syllabus that is distributed at the beginning of the term, faculty must allow students the full 2 hours for any exam held during final exams week.
• Classes are designated by the first or only day of the week and the hour the LECTURE meets.  Thus, a Monday - Wednesday - Friday or a Friday  only class that meets at 8 a.m. is listed on the chart as M-W-F 8 and the examination is scheduled for Wednesday, May 6 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
• Courses that do not meet on the hour have their examination scheduled at the time of the hour portion of the actual meeting time.  Thus, a Tuesday - Thursday 9:30 class would be scheduled for the Tu-Th 9 examination time or a Monday-Wednesday 3:30 p.m. class would be scheduled for the M-W-F 3 examination time.
• In the 5:45 p.m. and 8 p.m. examination periods, note carefully the distinction between the one-day and two-day courses.  A double hour listing (e.g., 6 to 7 p.m.) indicates that all courses that begin ON OR BETWEEN the stated hours are scheduled for examinations at that period.  Thus, a Monday-only class that meets at 5:30 p.m. is listed on the chart as M - only 5 to 5:45 and the examination is scheduled for Monday, May 4 from 5:45 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.
• All other sessions:  final exams may be given on the last date.  Check your syllabus.

The Schedule of Classes Review/Exam Request form (campus restricted) can be used by the colleges and academic departments to request an alternative classroom for the final exam should the instructor wish to offer the exam in a different classroom than the one in which the class is held.  NOTE:  days and times may not be changed.
