Final Examinations

Other Pages In Examinations

Final examinations are required in all undergraduate courses. The official dates and times of all final examinations are displayed in GOLD and published on the Office of the Registrar's website under Final Examinations. No instructor is authorized to change these times without prior approval of the Committee on Courses and General Education, and students are responsible for arranging their courses so that their final examinations will not conflict. Normally, examinations will be written, and a maximum time period for their completion will be announced in advance. No student will be permitted to exceed this maximum unless it has been predetermined by the Disabled Students Program that this is an appropriate accommodation for which the student is eligible. The maximum time for a final in a non-laboratory course is three hours. Individual exceptions from finals are not permitted except in the case of comprehensive examinations.
