Teaching Assistants should be aware of important university policies regarding final exams. 51ÁÔÆæ Policy SAAP 1-9<\/a> outlines the scheduling, change in scheduling, and exemption for final examinations. With rare exceptions, the final examination shall be given during the regular examination period. The time of a final examination for an individual or a class may be changed only with the prior approval of the dean. An approved change can only be a postponement to a later date and must be clearly communicated to students early in the term. In the event that the final examination for a particular class must be rescheduled, it should, if possible, be conducted during the optional examination time slot built into the final examination schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examinations cannot be given earlier than their normally scheduled time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For additional requirements related to final examinations, see the Final Exam Schedule<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
