At the close of the fall and spring semesters four days are provided for final examinations. Two hours are allowed for each examination. The examination schedule is published at the time of registration. Students are required to take examinations at the indicated times. Petitions for exceptions necessitated by severe personal hardships or academic hardships (in the form of having four consecutive examinations on one day) must be submitted to the Provost at least two weeks prior to the first day of final examinations. Final examinations will not be rescheduled to accommodate student travel.
