Final Exam Policy

A final examination is required in every credit course except in courses designated by the various departments, and that exam will be administered in the two-hour block designated. The type of examination should be in agreement with that specified in the departmental course outline and announced to the class near the beginning of the quarter. Final examinations may not count more than 40% of the final grade.

The final examination period will be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of the eleventh week during the fall, winter and spring quarters. Day class exams will be held between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Night class exams will be held on a day the class usually meets between 5:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. at a time somewhat similar to the time the class usually meets. Exams for classes meeting only on Saturday will be held on Saturday of the eleventh week. Examinations for summer classes will be scheduled by the teacher. The complete final exam schedule will be published in the quarterly schedule of classes. If an unavoidable conflict exists, the student will contact all teachers for resolution of the conflict. Department chairs will ultimately resolve conflicts. If a student has more than two final examinations scheduled on one day, the student is encouraged to petition individual teachers to see if one exam could be rescheduled. All written, in-class final examinations should follow the examination schedule printed in each quarter's schedule of classes. Faculty needing to schedule examinations, other than make-up examinations, at other than the regularly designated times, should obtain the written approval of the department chairperson.

No classes will be held during the exam week. Voluntary (optional) class review sessions may be held.

If local or national emergencies prevent the school from being open on one or more days of exam week, the exams on those days will be cancelled. Individual faculty members may give an exam if a student requests it. The exam would be given at a time arranged by the faculty member but within the next quarter, and a change of grade submitted.
