CAMPUS NEWS LA SALLE UNIVERSITY’S WEEKLY INFORMATION CIRCULAR La Salle University Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19141 Sept. 29th,2000 Office of the University Registrar Memorandum To: Day Faculty Memorandum From: Edward Koronkiewicz, FSC, Assistant Registrar Re: Fall ’00 Final Exams Date: September 27, 2000 You are reminded that examination week, December 11th through December 15th, is part of the academic school year. All faculty are expected to be available for proctoring assignments during this time. Final examinations should be given during the scheduled examination period and not the week preceding. This will help avoid any interference with the normal summative activities taking place in large part around campus that week. Arrangements for other types of assessment should be carefully made so they do not conflict with the scheduled examination period or with course work in the weeks preceding exams. This includes Honors courses, Seminars, etc... If you do not plan to give a written final examination during the scheduled examination week, please e-mail me at [email protected] with the course(s) and sections(s) involved. You may also use the bottom portion of this sheet to indicate the same information. Please return this form to Brother Edward - c/o Registrar’s Office - Box 818 no later than Friday, October 6th. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. COURSE SECTION INSTRUCTOR Campus News is distributed weekly to foster communication and encourage information sharing among University departments.
