Final exams are scheduled to take place during the last week of the semester and are scheduled for specific days and times. Students are expected to take final exams at their scheduled time and should plan accordingly. Courses with students who will be graduating that semester will have their final exams scheduled no later than Thursday of finals week. Final exams might be scheduled on a day or time other than when the course would regularly meet during the last week of the semester. Final exam schedules for those that will be given outside of regularly scheduled class time will be posted in the Current Course Schedule on the college website and included in the course syllabus.
For courses in which there are both final papers/projects and a final exam, it is recommended that final papers and/or projects be due the week prior to final exams to allow students adequate time to prepare for their exams. For courses in which a final paper/project is substituted for a final exam, the paper/project should be due no later than the regularly scheduled course time during the final week of the course.
