Final Exams for Non-Standard Courses

Non-standard courses – There is no pre-scheduled day and time for courses that meet at times not listed in the exam schedule below. 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.

Distance Education courses – Instructors are responsible for requesting an exam time and a make-up exam time during the exam period by emailing adhoc@gmu.edu. The exam times must be announced to the class by mid-session.

Departments with courses that combine all sections to meet for one exam time (i.e. block exams) – Scheduling coordinators are responsible for scheduling an exam time during the exam period 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-session.

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. Make-up exam times must also be scheduled through the Registrar’s Office by emailing adhoc@gmu.edu.

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