The 14th week of classes in the fall and spring terms is reserved for final examinations. All courses will normally include a final examination with possible exceptions for performance, writing, independent study, or seminar courses where other means of evaluation are more appropriate. A WILD THANKSGIVING IDEA The final examination should normally be offered in the time period scheduled in the examination matrix prepared by the Registrar. An alternative time period for unusual examination procedures, such as BY ROBERT DEWEY an oral examination, may be used provided that the students involved do not thereby encounter conflicts Interim Dean of the Chapel with other scheduled examinations.

If a student has more than two final examinations scheduled in one day, he/she has the right to reschedule DON'T JUST BE THANKFUL — SHARE IT one examination to an open date within the final examination period.
