Final Examinations and Instructors' Grade Reports

• 5.0: Final Examinations and Instructors' Grade Reports
• 5.1: Penultimate week. No instructor of a 16-week course may schedule an examination--comprehensive or non-comprehensive, except for laboratory practicums--during the week preceding the last week of a fall or spring semester.
• 5.2: Final week. With the exception of those courses classified as individual instruction, clinic, studio, practice teaching, research, or distance courses and those offered for zero credits, each 16-week class is expected to meet for a two-hour session during the last week of each fall or spring semester. The two-hour session may be used for:
  1. a final examination
  2. a last, non-comprehensive examination
  3. submission of out-of-class examination or assignments, or
  4. a regular class meeting.
• 5.3: Conflicts. A student who is scheduled to take on one day more than two final examinations, or who has a final-examination conflict, or who is scheduled to take a state, national, or professional licensing examination may contact the instructors involved, prior to the last week of regularly scheduled classes, to obtain appropriate rescheduling. If the student and the instructors cannot agree upon a rescheduling, the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs or a designee shall investigate and issue a binding schedule. Instructors shall not penalize a student who chooses to reschedule an examination under these options.
• 5.4: Absences. Any student who must miss a final examination because of an emergency must contact the instructor as soon as possible. A student who misses a final examination may receive a grade of F for the course.
• 5.5: Grade reports. Course grades are to be submitted to the Registrar's Office as completed, but not later than 12:00 p.m. on the Monday following the last scheduled examination.
