Final Examination Policies and Schedule
In keeping with Academic Senate Policy, final examinations are required of all undergraduate courses unless the department or course sponsoring agency has obtained permission from the Committee on Educational Policy (CEP) to evaluate students in another manner. When finals are administered, they must be completed within a previously announced time limit. Examinations in non-laboratory courses may not exceed three hours’ duration.
The examination schedule is printed in this schedule so that you may plan your finals before you enroll in courses. You are responsible for preventing schedule conflicts. If you show up late for an examination, the instructor may bar you from taking it. You may not be able to retake an examination. If you miss an examination due to illness or other emergency, the instructor may agree to give you an “Incomplete” and schedule a makeup examination if your work is passing up to that point.
Examinations are normally not required in laboratory courses or their equivalent, as individually determined by the CEP. A department may, however, require a final examination in any laboratory course.
Time and Room
Final examinations are given during exam week at the time announced in the Schedule of Classes, in the same room used for class meetings during the quarter.
Closed Week
No final examinations, tests, or significant quizzes, other than laboratory exams or makeup exams, may be given during the last week of instruction.
Religious Observance
Given the diversity of religious practice within the campus community, academic and administrative units are encouraged to make reasonable accommodation when the schedule of a required campus event conflicts with an individual’s religious creed.
It is the official policy of the University of California at Santa Cruz to accommodate without penalty requests for alternate examination times in cases where the scheduled time for the examination violates a student’s religious creed.
Requests for accommodation for religious observance should be made directly to the faculty member in charge of the course within the first two weeks of the term or as soon as possible after an examination date is announced. Faculty are expected to make reasonable accommodation for such requests. Students who are unable to reach a satisfactory arrangement with an instructor should consult the head of the unit sponsoring the course or the campus ombudsman.
Modifications for Reasons of Disability
Students
with verifiable disabilities that require examination modifications will
be accommodated in compliance with state and federal laws. This includes
students with mobility, hearing, and vision impairments, as well as those
with learning disabilities,
psychological disorders, and other functional impairments. If requested
by a student with a disability, DRC personnel will determine whether modifications
are necessary. Students are encouraged to make test-taking arrangements
directly with the instructor.
Early Examinations and Exemptions
Faculty members are not required to grant special examination privileges in order to allow students to leave before the close of quarter, but may do so in extraordinary circumstances. When a final examination is one of the regular requirements in a course, no one taking the course may be individually exempted from it. If you find it impossible to report for a final examination at the scheduled time because of illness or other unavoidable circumstances, inform the instructor; and see if another time can be arranged.
Take-Home Examinations
If a take-home examination is not assigned until the week designated for final exams, it cannot require more than three hours to complete.
Examination Retention
An instructor may release to individual students their original final examinations (or copies) at any time. Otherwise, the instructor will retain final examination materials until the end of the next regular term, during which time the students have access to them.
