The times and places of final examinations are officially scheduled by the Registrar.  Both the student and the instructor will be notified of a legitimate exam conflict if one or more of the following occurs:  the student has more than  one exam per period, more than two examinations scheduled per day or more than three examinations scheduled in any four consecutive examination periods.  Personal conflicts such as travel plans and work schedules do not warrant a change in examination times.

   The form of the final examination is determined by the instructor.  The length, however, may not exceed two and one-half hours.

   In 600-level courses, the class meets during examination week.  However, it is left to the discretion of the instructor as to whether the two and one-half hour examination period is spent in an examination or in other class activities considered more useful.  In 500-level courses, graduate students, at the discretion of the instructor, follow the same procedures as undergraduate students with regard to final examinations.
