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 [email protected].

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.
