This message is intended for those instructors teaching Fall 2020 courses with a final examination scheduled by the Office of the Registrar. If you are with a professional college that does not follow the final exam schedule set by the Office of the Registrar, please disregard this message.
We are pleased to announce the Fall 2020 Final Examination Schedule (December 14-18, 2020) is now available to campus on the Office of the Registrar’s website.
Please note: In light of the Fall 2020 session being moved exclusively online after Thanksgiving break, only date/time assignments were scheduled for courses requesting a final exam assignment. No final exams are to occur on campus.
Primary instructors may access their official individual final exam schedule online through MAUI. Instructions for doing so are located on the Office of the Registrar’s website, if needed. Benefits of the online schedule include:
- Course section responsibilities for administering makeup finals in the event a student has been identified with a qualified exam conflict; and
- Course supervisors have the ability to view the final exam assignments for those course sections they supervise.
Student Schedules. Students are being notified today of the publishing of the Fall 2020 Final Examination Schedule, available to them via MyUI.
Student Exam Conflicts. Students with qualified exam conflicts who wish to request a makeup exam, according to exam precedence rules, have been instructed to speak with their course instructor by October 1st. 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.
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.
