This message is intended for those Academic Departmental Administrators, Chairs, Directors, and DEOs offering Fall 2019 courses. If you are with a professional college that does not follow the final exam schedule set by the Office of the Registrar, please scroll down for the appropriate information regarding final exams.

It's time to begin preparing for Fall 2019 Final Exams.

Please review the course sections scheduled for those subjects for which your department is administrative home and submit their requested final exam assignment needs. Each department is responsible for submitting their own courses' final exam assignment needs, including both undergraduate and graduate level courses. We ask that you submit final exam needs for ALL course sections. If a course section does not require a final exam assignment, please indicate such on the Exam Needs form.

Fall 2019 final exam dates. Final exam week is December 16 - 20, 2019.

Submission. Final exam needs are submitted online via the "Exam Needs" submission application in MAUI.

Deadline. Departments must submit their requests no later than Wednesday, August 14, 2019, 4:30pm.

Instructions and Policies. Instructions and scheduling policies are located on the Office of the Registrar's website.

• Each department is responsible for submitting final exam needs for all subjects for which their department is administrative home. This includes undergraduate and graduate level courses, and courses with or without final exam assignment needs.
• The above website includes scheduling criteria by which final exam assignments will be made in the event we either receive incomplete information or we do not receive any information from a department by the submission deadline.
• Please note that when the final examination date and time are assigned to a course section, the goal is to minimize the number of exam conflicts for the students. Final exam day of the week and time preferences are only given consideration under special extenuating circumstances such as instructor injury/illness or when an instructor will be traveling on University academic business.
• Instructors and students are expected to be present for ALL of finals week until the schedule has been officially published. Please note in the comments section of the Exam Needs tool any special scheduling needs. While we cannot guarantee that any special requests can be fulfilled, we will certainly take them into consideration.

Incomplete submissions. Please be aware by submitting incomplete or no information, you may be unnecessarily tying up exam resources which are needed by others.

Late submissions. Requests made after the schedule has been published will require written approval from the Chair/DEO and the Dean of the department responsible for the course. All requests must include the curricular justification for the late addition or release. Note: Course sections granted final exam assignments after the schedule has been published are responsible for administering makeup final exams regardless of exam precedence rules.

Faculty review. Faculty will be able to review their final exam assignments before the schedule is published. The faculty review period is September 13 - 18, 2019.

Professional Colleges

We recognize that some departments offer courses that allow undergraduate student enrollment. You can request a final exam assignment from the Office of the Registrar for these course sections in order to reduce the likelihood of exam conflicts for undergraduate students. This can potentially help limit the need for makeup final exam arrangements by your instructors.

Departments can request a final exam assignment from the Office of the Registrar by using the "Exam Needs" submission application in MAUI. Instructions and scheduling policies are located on the Office of the Registrar's website, if needed. Requests must be submitted by Wednesday, August 14, 2019, 4:30pm.
