Summer 2024 Final Exam Schedule

There is not a set schedule for finals for the summer 2024 term. All information about finals will be provided by individual class instructors.

View the final exam archives for past schedules.

Resolving an exam conflict

You are required to take final examinations at the times shown. However, if you have examination conflicts or three (or more) final exams within one calendar day, you may request adjustment with your college office and with your instructor. Such a request must be presented at least two weeks before the examination period begins.

If your instructor has requested a variation from the official final exam schedule, he or she must (1) give a special make-up exam to any students who have exam conflicts, or (2) give three (or more) exams in one calendar day.

If you miss a final, an I, an F, or an N is recorded, depending upon your standing at the time. To make up the exam, you must obtain the instructor's permission.
