Final Exams, Scheduling Issues

Policy

If you have three final examinations that begin and end within a 24-hour time period (any contiguous combination of the 9 am, 2 pm, and 7 pm exam times) you can have one exam date changed.  Likewise, if you have two exams scheduled at the same time, you can have one exam date changed. If one is a block exam, that one will remain as scheduled.

Procedure

To request an exam date change, you will need to submit a "Petition to Change Final Examination Schedule" form according to following procedure:

  1. Go to the Exam Schedule on the Registrar's Office website.
  2. Select the current semester’s exam schedule.

  3. Read the instructions under “Student Information."

    4.
  4. Download the petition form and complete it.

  5. Submit the completed form to:

                 * Shennia Kearney in room 02 Allen Building (declared majors) or

                 * The Academic Advising Center (undeclared students).

If your petition is approved, the form will be faxed to the Registrar’s Office and the date of one of your exams will be changed.

Note: Instructors are required by University policy to give their final exams at the time scheduled for them in the final exam schedule. Please bring to the attention of the Registrar's Office (684-9008) any instance of unauthorized change by the instructor to the examination schedule for any course you are taking.
