Spring 2024 Final Exam Dates
Final exam week is May 6–10, 2024.
Submission and deadline
Final exam needs are submitted online via the "Exam Needs" submission application in MAUI. Departments must submit their requests no later than Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2024, at 4:30 p.m.
Instructions and policies
PLEASE NOTE: If faculty intend to schedule their exam through Distance and Online Education, please indicate "No Exam Assignment Needed" in the Exam Needs tool.
Instructions for final exam submissions and final exam 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 time is assigned to a course section, the goal is to minimize the number of exam conflicts for the students. Final exam time preferences are only given consideration under special extenuating circumstances that may require DEO/dean's office approval.
- Instructors and students are expected to be available 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 and late submissions
Please be aware by submitting incomplete or no information, you may be unnecessarily tying up exam resources which are needed by others.
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. Please note that 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 period
Faculty will be able to review their final exam assignments before the schedule is published. The faculty review period is Feb. 2–7, 2024.
Professional colleges
We understand the Carver College of Medicine and the College of Dentistry, Law, and Pharmacy maintain their own final exam schedules and generally do not follow the final exam schedule set by the Office of the Registrar.
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, Jan. 10, 2024, at 4:30 p.m.
