Exam schedules

  • Summer Session exam dates: See the Summer Session academic calendar for exam periods. For class specific exam dates, search Courses and Programs and or contact your instructor.

    Note to instructors: Per university policy, in the event students have more than two exams in 24 hours, you are urged to grant requests for a make-up examination. In addition, you must provide accommodations to students who may not have reliable access to an online exam or who are in different time zones. Faculty who need to make accommodations for students or intend to move their exam should communicate with their students in advance to determine the number of conflicts that may be created.
  • Winter Session exam date: January 17 or 18, 2025. Final exams will be held on the last day of class (1/17), at a time to be arranged by the instructor and announced the first week of classes. Due to a limited number of class days in Winter Session 2025, exams may be held on Saturday, January 18 if approved, by SCE, prior to start of classes.
  • Fall/Spring exam dates

If you are unsure about when your final exam will be held, please contact your instructor or the School of Continuing Education.

When are final projects due?

If a course requires an end-of-class exercise (for example, a paper, project report, final critique, oral presentation, or conference) in lieu of or in addition to a final examination, the nature of the exercise must be made known at the beginning of the semester. If there is no final examination in a course, an announcement must be made to that effect.

A course that requires an end-of-class exercise and does not offer a final examination must allow students at least until the date appearing on the official examination schedule to complete submission of materials associated with the culminating exercise. (For example, a student making a presentation during the last week of classes or during study period will have at least until the scheduled final-exam date to submit a final write-up or equivalent.)
