- Approved class times START on the half hour beginning at 8:30 a.m. Classes will end by 6:00 p.m. unless space can be found in an open building coordinated with Utilities and Energy Management to maximize campus energy savings. It is encouraged that departmental teaching spaces follow a similar scheduling pattern.

Final Examinations
During the summer session, faculty have the opportunity to administer the final exam/cumulative assessment activity for their course either:
- during their last regularly scheduled course meeting time, or
- faculty may request to be given a final exam assignment on the respective final exam date for their sub-session.
