Policies and Procedures

All classes are scheduled for a two-hour meeting during final exam week. Exams will be in the regular meeting classroom at the times specified in the schedule shown below (for daytime classes) or the schedule on the following page (for evening classes). Weekend College final exams are on the last day of class. Each instructor may use this period for a final examination, a last, noncomprehensive examination, or a regular class meeting. No exams may be scheduled during the week prior to final exam week except in laboratory courses.

Departments offering multiple sections of the same course may elect to schedule group examinations. You should check with your instructor to determine if your class is scheduled for one of the following group examination times:

All students are governed by the following regulation regarding final examination conflicts:

A student who is scheduled to take more than two examinations in one day, who has a conflict of exams, or who is scheduled to take a state, national, or professional licensing examination may contact the instructor(s) involved, prior to the last week of regularly scheduled classes, to obtain appropriate rescheduling.

Instructors must turn in final course grades within 48 hours after a final exam. If, in the event of an emergency, you find it necessary to miss a final examination, you should contact your instructor prior to, or immediately after, the time of the exam.

If severe weather conditions cause a change in the schedule for final exams, the disruption will be announced on area radio stations and in other media, or you may call the Campus Weather Emergency Numbers, 260-481-6050 or 260-481-5770 for recorded information. For specific information about the rescheduling of any exam that may be delayed, you should contact either the class instructor or the instructor's department.

The schedule for daytime class exams is based entirely on class begin time and the days that the class normally meets. The schedule for evening class exams is based on the exact beginning and ending times and the days that class normally meets.
