General Information

  • The instructor is obligated to cooperate with students when an alternate exam time must be scheduled.
  • Students must inform instructors of exam conflicts at least three weeks prior to the start of final exams.
  • Where two courses in a department conflict, the course in the student's major takes precedence. If no courses in the major are involved, the higher-numbered course takes precedence. When two courses in the same department conflict, the higher-numbered course takes precedence.
  • Students are not required to take more than two exams in one day. Priority of exams is as follows: the course in the student's major followed by the higher-numbered course. Students who fail to notify faculty in a timely manner must take all exams as scheduled.
  • Faculty who create an exam conflict or a third exam on the same day by scheduling an exam during a Special Exam period must schedule an alternate exam period for the student(s) involved upon request.
