BLOCK ASSIGNMENTS.

1. Four and five hour courses--the test will be given during the test period that the first class period indicates; e.g., a course which meets in periods at 8:00 MTThF would use Block 11, or from 2:00-3:15 on MW would use block 17. 

2. Examinations for evening courses shall be scheduled in the regularly scheduled class time during the final examination week.  Exceptions to this, e.g., Thursday evening classes, shall be approved by the registrar. 

3. Graduate courses have no additional test schedule. If a test is to be given, it will have to be scheduled for a regular class period. 
 

Exam Block Guide:  Use this table to convert your class time to an exam block.  For example, a class meeting at 8:00-9:15 on Tuesdays & Thursdays would use exam block 21 (8:00-10:00 on Tuesday, December 18).

3.4.2 SCHEDULING OF TESTS

1. Instructors shall notify students at least one week in advance of major tests. It is advisable to include the schedule of tests for a course in the course syllabus and to distribute the syllabus at the beginning of a course.
2. Tests for the entire class shall be scheduled and administered only during the regularly scheduled class times.
3. Faculty shall not ordinarily schedule tests on Mondays, except for courses or labs that meet only on Mondays.
4. Assessment in the form of daily assignments, papers, projects, quizzes, and/or tests given early in the semester provide students with timely feedback regarding their progress. This is especially important in freshmen courses.
5. A minimum of three major forms of evaluation (tests, papers, major presentations, etc.) shall be given during the semester (this includes the examination given during the final examination week).
6. Examinations, test, or major quizzes shall not be administered during the last week of classes, the week prior to the week of final examinations. Papers and major projects may not be due during the last week of classes, except in courses where no final exam is given. Weekly or daily quizzes, assignments, and papers that are consistent with the regular practice of a course may be scheduled during the last week of classes.*
* This policy is intended to reflect a need for a "quiet last week of classes" that allows students to prepare for exams. Documentation by departments of peer awareness and agreement on exceptions should provide a transparent environment reflecting our common goal. Documentation may be reviewed by the division dean, the registrar, and the vice president for academic affairs.

3.4.3 FINAL EXAMINATION POLICIES

1. The final examination schedule is set by policy.
2. Examinations for evening courses shall be scheduled in the regularly scheduled class time during the final examination week. Exceptions to this, e.g., Thursday evening classes, shall be approved by the registrar.
3. Final examinations in the form of take-home examinations shall be due during the exam period scheduled for that course. They are to be given to the students no earlier than one week prior to the exam period.
4. Exceptions to these policies are to be reviewed at the departmental level and recorded in the department minutes.
5. Exceptions to the examination schedule may be granted for individual students by the registrar in extraordinary circumstances.  However, three exams in one day will not be considered extraordinary.
