Final Exams

A final examination or assessment is expected in every course. Where appropriate, an instructor may substitute a term paper or other requirement for the final examination.  Because final exam schedules are available prior to registration and are published with the schedule of classes, students will not be allowed to alter their exam schedules because of travel plans, job interviews, special projects or scheduling preferences.  A student absent without excuse from a final examination will receive a failing grade in the course. Excuses from final examinations may be granted only by the Associate Dean and only in extremely rare cases of illness or a death in the immediate family.

Faculty members may reschedule the times of their final examinations only with the permission of the Associate Dean, and only with the concurrence of every student in the course. To prevent subsequent misunderstandings, instructors should obtain the concurrence of students to such a change in a written and signed statement. An instructor may reschedule a final examination for an individual student only with the permission of the Associate Dean, and only in extremely rare and compelling cases. Such a final exam should be scheduled at the Proctoring Center by using the online reservation system at    https://centrenet.centre.edu/ICS/Academic/Academic_Affairs/Proctoring_Center/
