Effective Fall 2005 Students are responsible for reviewing the final exam schedule and comparing it to their class schedule to be sure there are no time conflicts.
Final Examination Policies (Bloomington Faculty Council)
Exam Period
There shall be a 5-day examination period at the end of each semester. Exams must be given as printed in the Enrollment Bulletin.
Classes for Fall 2008 end on Saturday, December 13, 2008. Final examinations will be given from Monday, December 15, through Friday, December 19, according to the final examination schedule listed below. It is the student's responsibility to check the final examination schedule to determine the date and time of particular final examinations.
Note that final examinations for course sections not scheduled to meet through the last weeks of classes (e.g., first eight-week classes, etc.) will be held during the last class meeting.
Free Week
The week prior to the exam period shall be free of major or final exams, except for practical tests at the end of lab periods. Paper projects may be due only if assigned well in advance.
Present administrative interpretation of this regulation defines the week prior to the exam period as Monday, December 8, through Sunday, December 14, 2008.
More Than Three Exams in One Day
In the event of more than three exams in one day, the instructor/department of the fourth and subsequent exams is obligated to adjust the student's exam time, provided the student notifies them by the mid-point of the semester.
In the event a student is scheduled to take more than three final examinations on the same day, the student may exercise the following options:
- Take all final examinations as they are scheduled;
- Consult with the instructors or departments giving the final examinations to determine if any make-up examination(s) is or can be scheduled. If no make-up examination is available, then the student must notify the instructor or department of the course scheduled for the fourth (and additional) final examination of the day. That instructor or that department will then be obligated to adjust the student's final examination schedule, provided the student has notified that instructor or department before the halfway point of the semester.
Conflicts
Students having examination conflicts must report to the dean of the school in which they are enrolled.
Absence from Final Exams
Students who fail to attend the final exam of a class and who have a passing grade up to that point should be given an Incomplete only if the instructor has reason to believe the absence was beyond the student's control. If not, the grade of "F" must be awarded.
Students who anticipate absences from final examinations, or who are absent from final examinations for reasons they did not anticipate, should discuss these absences with their instructors as soon as possible to make arrangements for the satisfaction of course requirements. Instructors may require students who are absent from final examinations to file a written explanation of the absence with the Dean of Students Office (Franklin Hall 108). The Dean of Students Committee on Absence will review these written explanations and seek additional information, as necessary, before indicating its findings to the instructors involved. The final decision in the dispensation of these matters remains the instructor's.
Final Examination Schedule
[Course (Departmental) Final Examinations]
[Class (Section) Final Examinations]
The final examination schedule is prepared and published so that students may avoid conflicts in those courses having departmental examinations (e.g., two course finals at the same hour on the same day), and to avoid examination conflicts that might create a hardship for the student or be impossible to resolve. It is the student's responsibility to be aware of the date and time of the final examination for each of his or her classes before officially registering.
