PRE-FALL 2024 FINAL EXAM SCHEDULE
Exams are administered during pre-determined exam periods. Students should not make travel plans during these periods, as faculty are not obligated to offer midterm and final exams outside scheduled times.
In the event a faculty member chooses to allow an exam outside the scheduled time due to extenuating circumstances, the student must notify the Associate Dean for Faculty in writing with the request for a schedule change. The request must be approved by the Associate Dean in order for a change to occur.
