The tentative final exam schedule for fall 2021 has been created and the faculty review opportunity is now open.
The review opportunity allows primary instructors the ability to indicate to our office if:
- A date, time and/or university classroom assigned for a course section is no longer needed; or
- A date, time and/or university classroom assignment has not been requested for a course section which needs one.
Unofficial Schedules
Primary instructors may access their unofficial individual final exam schedule online through MAUI. Instructions for doing so are located on the Office of the Registrar’s website, if needed.
Unofficial final exam assignments are now available to department administrators using the “Final Exam Assignments” application accessed online through MAUI using the “Offerings Planner” menu.
Deadline to Submit Change Requests
Primary instructors and department administrators have until Wednesday, September 15, 2021, at 4:30 p.m. to request changes. Please use the Final Exam Assignment Change Request Form, which can be accessed as follows:

Use of Proctorio
Please note: Beginning fall 2021, Proctorio use will be limited to (1) Distance and Online Education course offerings with a DOE Distance Course (EX*) management type and (2) online lecture sections without a face-to-face discussion component. If you have any questions related to Proctorio, please contact Distance and Online Education at doe-exams@uiowa.edu.
Conflict Minimization and Availability of Resources
Please note that the Office of the Registrar has made every reasonable effort to grant instructors’ final exam assignment request needs. There are situations, however, where we were unable to grant requests due to excessive student conflicts and/or the availability of University Classrooms.
We will accommodate new requests as conflict minimization and available University Classroom resources allow. Instructors should not announce any final exam assignments until after publication of the official schedule as all assignments are subject to change prior to this time.
Unneeded Exam Assignments
Instructors who have been assigned unneeded final exam resources should be sure to release them for the possible use of other faculty members’ exam needs. Please use the change request form to release these exam assignments.
Late Requests
Requests made after publication of the official schedule 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 change, addition, or release. Please note that course sections granted final exam assignments after publication of the schedule are responsible for administering makeup final exams regardless of exam precedence rules.
Official Schedules
The official final exam schedule for Fall 2021 will be published online on the Office of the Registrar’s website on approximately Monday, September 20, 2021. Final exam schedules will be available to students via MyUI on this date. Official final exam schedules will include the identification of qualified student exam conflicts, if applicable.
Seating Layout Plans
University classrooms with a seating capacity of 100 or more include seat and row number identifications. Seating layout plans for these rooms are available online to assist faculty as they make their exam arrangements.
Policies and Additional Information
The final examination schedule, examination policies, and additional informational resources may be found on the Office of the Registrar’s website.
