Final Exam Information

When are my final exams?

Classes are scheduled for a final exam time based on the default final exam times listed in the course schedule. However, some final exams may differ from the default and not all classes hold final exams. To determine if there will be a final exam for your class, check your class syllabus and contact your instructor or department.

Reminders about final exams

• “No-class” days and final exam days are listed in the official University academic calendar. No mandatory class meetings can be held on these days.
• Students cannot be required to take more than three final exams in a single day.
• Final exams are two hours long by default but some finals can be three hours long.
• What to do if your final exams are scheduled at the same time:
  • Contact your instructors to schedule a makeup exam. The class holding their final exam in a non-default exam period is responsible for resolving the exam conflict.
    
  • Attend the makeup exam. If you have a conflict with a uniform final exam (an exam that occurs when an academic unit administers a single exam to all students in multiple classes at the same time, also known as ‘departmental exams’), please attend the makeup exam offered. Uniform exams must offer makeup exams.
    
  • Ask your instructor for an alternate day, if you have more than three exams assigned on a single day. Instructors who are not using the standard exam times (default) or uniform exams should provide an alternative exam time for you. Otherwise, the instructor of your latest 2-hour exam time(s) on days you are scheduled more than three exams, should provide an alternative exam day and time.
