To change your final exam, you must submit the Final Exam Request Form. Changes you would need to request include:

• New exam date and time
• Length of exam
• Request a different classroom
• Request alternate seating
• Request specific room features 

If students have exam conflicts or three (or more) final exams within one calendar day, they may request an adjustment with their college office and instructors. Students must request at least two weeks before the exam period begins. To make up the exam, students must get the instructor's permission.

Please see the University's Scheduling Examinations, Final Examinations, and Study Days policy.

When requesting a final exam change, please be aware of the following:

• Instructors who request any variation from the official final exam schedule must agree to give a special make-up exam to any students who have overlapping final exam conflicts, or have three (or more) exams in one calendar day.
  • Authorized final exam variations and make-up exams should be conducted using time frames in the final exam schedule.
  • Each college shall be responsible for making arrangements to spread out exams for students who have three (or more) exams scheduled on one calendar day.
• Three-hour exams will be scheduled on the half-day that the corresponding two-hour exams would have been given.
  • Exams are scheduled from 8:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. or from 1:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m.

According to the University Senate policy, no extracurricular events that require students’ participation may be scheduled from the beginning of study day to the end of finals week. Exceptions to this policy may be granted by the Senate Committee on Educational Policy. The Senate advises all faculty members that students who are unable to complete course requirements during finals week shall be provided an alternative and timely opportunity to do so.

Common final exams are pre-approved final exams for courses that have multiple sections with large enrollments that need to be conducted together at the same time. The Final Exam Request form does NOT need to be submitted for Common Exams. See the final exam schedule to see pre-approved common exams. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.
