  • Classes may NOT meet finals week during their regularly scheduled class meeting time
    To understand why classes may NOT meet finals week during their regularly scheduled class meeting time please see the "Understanding the Designated Final Exam Schedule" dropdown option.
  • Understanding the Designated Final Exam Schedule
    • Each class meeting 2 or more hours/week has a finals date and time associated with it and is listed in the Student and the Faculty Centers in My大发.
    • Final exam times are different from the regular class days/times meeting times during the semester. Classes may NOT meet finals week during their regularly scheduled class meeting time.
    • See the Policies for Spring and Fall, linked above, for the times listed each day of that semester's final exam week.
    • Assigned final exam days/times ensure that every class, meeting for 2 or more hours per week, has a 2 hour-long final, which is often important for classes that would regularly only meet 1-1.5 hours on a given day during the regular semester.
    • If a class is comprised of multiple components (e.g., lecture and lab) and has a final listed as "yes" in the Catalog, the final is scheduled based on the meeting time(s) of one class portion only.
    • Only classes that meet 2 or more hours in-person have a final scheduled on campus. Classes that do not regularly meet on campus should NOT be meeting on campus during finals week. 
    • Classes that do not have set meeting days and times on the class schedule, including asynchronous classes, do not have an assigned final exam day/time.
    • A set final exam schedule better ensures students and faculty do not have conflicting final exams.
