Note: All one-day-a-week evening classes (starting at 5 p.m. or later only) will meet at their regularly scheduled times.
Instructions for determining when your final exam is scheduled:
- Final exam times are determined by the meeting time of your class. For example, if your class meets 10 Tu Th your final exam will be on Tuesday, May 13 from 8-10:30 a.m. Courses with labs are scheduled based on the lecture time of the course.
- Courses which do not follow a standard time pattern are scheduled based on the initial schedule time of the course. For example, a course which is scheduled to meet at 2 on WThF has an initial meeting time of 2W. The only 2W on the chart is on Friday, May 9. Therefore, the final for a course which meets 2 WThF is scheduled for Friday, May 9 from 2-4:30 p.m.

Students should consult the Finals Week Schedule to avoid enrolling in courses which would cause them to have multiple examinations on the same day.
