The final examination period is considered to be a regular part of the academic semester.

It is expected that instructors will administer final examinations in all regularly scheduled courses with the exception of independent studies.

Each final examination must be given during its assigned examination period. In those infrequent cases of courses where traditional examination procedures do not appear applicable or practical, the instructor is expected to use the scheduled examination period as a scheduled class period for the semester.

Some professors who have more than one section of the same course may choose to use the Multiple Section exam slot. In some situations, a student may find that more than one of their professors has chosen to use this exam slot, creating a conflict. The faculty members will also need to offer their exam during the regularly scheduled exam time in order to manage these conflicts.
