Examination Scheduling

For most courses an Examination Group is listed in Courses of Instruction within the course description. Examination Groups correspond to class meeting times and ordinarily change if the meeting time changes. Occasionally, however, there is a misprint in the course catalog and the Exam Group does not correspond with the meeting time. Note the Exam Group will be changed to correspond with the meeting time. Occasionally, the Office of the Registrar may need to assign an Exam Group that does not correspond to the meeting time of the course.

Classes that meet for periods longer than one hour are listed in the catalog with more than one Exam Group. The Exam Group for such a course will be selected by the Registrar’s Office.

Many factors must be considered when scheduling eighteen Exam Groups within an eight-day examination period, including student conflicts, room availability, and personnel resources. As a result, the Office of the Registrar is unable to accommodate individual requests to assign alternative Exam Groups to courses.

Since the days and hours for courses are subject to change, official dates and times for examinations are published on the Final Examination Schedule, posted on the Registrar’s website. The Final Examination Schedule will be available mid-October for fall final/midyear examinations and mid-March for spring final examinations.
