Classroom Scheduling >> Midterm Evening Exam Scheduling Request Form

Midterm Evening Exam Scheduling Request Form
Deadline for Spring 2009 requests is September 11th, 2008

Please complete the following request form.

Filing this form allows the instructor to reserve classroom space for evening exams and to have the exam listed on ISIS to warn students that the course uses evening exams. However, instructors giving evening exams are still bound by University policy regarding exams held outside of the class time. The complete policy is printed at the bottom of this form. The key point, however, is that students may not be prevented from enrolling in or attending evening classes that conflict with exams held outside of class time.

Upon receipt of room reservation confirmation departments can place exact time and days of examination on OSRIS under course description.

University Policy on Course Exam Schedule Conflicts:

1. When instructors plan to give exams outside of class time, they should announce the dates and times at the first class meeting and list them on the course syllabus for distribution at the first class meeting.

2. When there is conflict between an exam scheduled outside of class time and a regularly scheduled course, the regularly scheduled course will take precedence.

3. During fall semester, when there is a conflict between two exams scheduled outside the regular class times, the course haivng the lower department number (or letter), or lower course number when the conflict is within the same department, will take precendence. During spring semester and summer session, when there is a conflict between two exams scheduled outside the regular class times, the course haivng the higher number (or letter), or higher course number when the conflict is within the same department, will take precendence.

4. When there is a conflict between an exam scheduled outside of class time and other scheduled and required course activities (e.g. performances, meetings, lectures), the required course activity will take precedence.

5. When there is a conflict between an exam scheduled outside of class time and other scheduled, non-required course activities or personal obligations, the exam will take precedence. However, exams not scheduled and announced in class at least 14 days in advance will not have priority under this policy.

6. Instructors must offer reasonable options without penalty to students who miss exams due to conflicts described above.
