To find your final exam time(s) on the schedule, first, locate the standard meeting time for your course. The date is displayed at the top of the column and the time for the final exam appears in the far left of the row.

For example:

Sam has Writing 102 on T/Th from 11:00-12:15. Therefore, Sam’s WRIT 102 final is on Wednesday, December 13, from 8:30-11:00
Jamie has Leadership 101 on MWF from 12:00-12:50. Therefore, Jamie’s final for LEAD 101 is on Thursday, December 14, from 8:30-11:00

If your course time does not appear in any of the time slots (e.g., MWF 3:00-3:50 or MW 4:00-5:15) and is not COMM 203/HONR 212, your final will be in the “ALL OTHER TIMES” slot on Monday, December 11 from 3:00-5:30 p.m.

The Provost will only authorize a change for extraordinary circumstances such as illness or family emergency. Please note the final examination schedule before making any travel plans because no changes will be authorized on that basis. No final examinations are to be given during the final week of classes.
