If you are with a professional college that does not follow the final exam schedule set by the Office of the Registrar, please disregard.

Official Schedules

We are pleased to announce the Spring 2025 Final Examination Schedule (May 12-16, 2025) is now available to campus.

Important Notes:

  • While examination periods are scheduled for a two hour duration, instructors are not required to use the full two hour period. 
  • Final exam information posted to student and instructor individual final exam schedules is based on current course enrollment information.

Student Exam Conflicts and Make-Up Exams

Student Exam Conflicts

Instructors and students have been notified that students with qualified exam conflicts who wish to request a makeup exam, according to exam precedence rules, need to speak with their course instructor by Mar. 1. We recommend faculty get in touch with their students identified with qualifying exam conflicts in order to facilitate the communication process and assist students who may be new to the process.

Make-Up Exams

Faculty needing to issue a makeup final exam may use the 5:30-7:30pm exam period on the Friday final exam date but are not required to use this period. This exam period is reserved for makeup final exams only. No regular final exams are scheduled during this period.

Change Requests

Now that the final exam schedule has been published, all final exam assignment date/time changes require written approval from both the department chair (DEO) and collegiate associate dean (dean's office). Please note that even when approval has been secured, it may not be possible to accommodate exam change requests due to excessive student conflicts and/or a scarcity of classroom resources.
