The Dean of Students will reschedule exams only under extraordinary circumstances. Examples of such circumstances may include:
  1. The student’s illness or injury, or an illness, injury, or death in the student’s immediate family, which prevents the student from taking an exam.
  2. The time of an exam conflicts with the student’s religious belief or practice.
  3. A student has two scheduled final exams that are scheduled to begin within 23 hours of each other (e.g., a 6:00 p.m. scheduled final exam on a Monday followed by a 5:00 p.m. scheduled final exam the next day would be a conflict; however, a 6:00 p.m. scheduled final exam on a Monday followed by a 6:00 p.m. scheduled final exam the next day would NOT be a conflict). Note: This 23-hour rule applies only to scheduled final exams, not to self-scheduled or take-home final exams, and not to any in-session exams.
  4. A student has three scheduled final exams scheduled within a period of 3 calendar days, in which case a student may reschedule one scheduled final exam. Note: This 3-day rule applies only to scheduled final exams, not to self-scheduled or take-home final exams, and not to any in-session exams.
  5. Unanticipated event that conflicts with an exam; such event must be one that requires the student to attend (note: this exception is rare; events such as travel/vacation plans, weddings, employment obligations, etc., do not qualify).
Exam rescheduling is coordinated in Student Services, Room 119.

Specific make-up dates for final exam conflicts are scheduled at set times during the final examination period. Students must take rescheduled final examinations on the next available makeup date that does not cause a new conflict in the student’s final exam schedule. No make-up exam will be rescheduled more than two weeks after the end of the regular final exam period. Students who are unable to complete any exam within this time frame will be withdrawn from the course(s) unless the Dean of Students grants an exception for extraordinary circumstances.
