A two-hour final examination period is scheduled for each course during the last week of the fall and spring semester. This final examination period is used either for administration of final examinations or for other appropriate course terminating activities. If students must reschedule final exams because of extenuating circumstances or if they have more than three finals on the same day, they must obtain written approval of the academic dean of their major and then of the instructor of the course in advance of the scheduled exam time.
