Final Exams for Non-Standard Courses

Non-standard courses are lab courses, distance education courses, and courses meeting at times not listed in the exam schedule below.

Block exams will be scheduled as assigned on either Wed. 5/11 from 7:30 – 10:15 am or Thu. 5/12 from 7:30 – 10:15 am.

Distance Education courses will be scheduled as assigned on Sat. 5/7 with the make-up final exam day on Sat. 5/14.

Instructors are responsible for scheduling an exam time and a make-up exam time through the Registrar’s Office by emailing adhoc@gmu.edu.  The exam times must be announced to the class by mid-semester.

Make-up Periods for Final Exams

If the university is unexpectedly closed on an exam day, make-up times will be announced as soon as they are determined and will be posted on the University-wide Class Cancellations page.

The last scheduled day of the final exam period is the scheduled make-up day. The Friday, Saturday, and Sunday during the final exam period are also potential make-up days. Students and faculty must be available for the make-up day(s). 

If possible, make-up exams will be given at the same time and in the same room as the missed exams. Students and faculty should check the Office of the University Registrar’s website for up-to-date information.

Processing of grades and student transcripts may be delayed by use of makeup dates late in the exam period.
