Final Exam Information

All courses have a scheduled exam time determined by the starting time of the course. This listing shows standard class meeting time exam assignments for undergraduate courses. In general, common exams are held at 4:00 p.m. If a course does not fit exactly into a module, it assumes the module corresponding to the closest class meeting time. For example, a class meeting T TH 11 is assigned module 10 (T TH 10:30*). In situations where the non-standard time falls halfway between two modules, use the module for the later time. For example, a class meeting M W F 9:30 is assigned module 03 (M W F 10).

Non-Standard Modules

All graduate courses meeting once a week and undergraduate courses that start at 4:00 pm or later and meet once a week will have final exams on the first regular class day that occurs during the exam week. All graduate courses meeting more than once a week and undergraduate courses that start at 4:00 p.m. or later and meet more than once a week will have final exams on the class day that is earliest in the calendar week. For example, the final exam for a T TH 4:00 p.m. class would be held Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. Exams will be held at the usual class meeting time and location unless otherwise posted on the exam schedule.

The meeting place for each exam will be posted in Lyons basement one week prior to the exam period. Exam information will be available on U-View through UIS.

Students are expected to take no more than two final exams in any one day. If a student has three exams scheduled in one day and one of these is a common exam, it is the responsibility of the instructor holding the common exam to give a make-up exam. If a student has three regularly scheduled exams (this can happen if the student is taking a course that meets at 4:00 p.m. or later), the instructor teaching the course outside of the standard time blocks (8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.) should provide a make-up exam. In addition, if a student has a conflict between a common exam and a regularly scheduled late afternoon or evening course exam, the responsibility for a make-up lies with the instructor offering the common exam.

Inclement Weather

If there is a storm during the examination period, there is the expectation that exams will be held as scheduled. In the very rare instance that the exam schedule is delayed or postponed due to inclement weather or other emergency situations, the first available of the following days will be used: the Sunday during the exam week, the afternoon of the last exam day, and the day after the last exam day. If rescheduling is necessary, announcements will be made on WBZ, WRKO, and WBMX, and on the Boston College INFO line (617-552-4636). For graduate and professional students, announcements concerning final exams will be made on the same radio stations and on 617-552-INFO. Students are responsible for attending final exams at the scheduled times. In addition, students should consider possible exam rescheduling when making travel plans at the end of the semester.
