Each instructor determines the number and type of examinations to be administered in his/her classes prior to the final. The instructor also determines what portion of the student's grade will be based on examinations.
The individual instructor decides whether students will be permitted to take special or make-up examinations. Final exams (comprehensive or last scheduled chapter/unit exams) for all evening classes shall be administered during the final class meeting unless approved by the VP of Academic Affairs.
Final exams (comprehensive or last scheduled chapter/unit exams) for all classes shall be administered during finals week. Scheduled labs may give an exam during the week prior to finals. All classes are required to meet during the final exam week whether an exam is given or not.
Requests by students to take final examinations early are discouraged, but, in extreme cases, may be made in writing to the VP of Academic Affairs at least three weeks prior to final exam week of the fall and spring semester and at least one week prior to the final week of each summer session. Early exams must be scheduled during the faculty member's normal final exam schedule.
