Exam Conflicts
Students should check the final exam schedule early in the semester for conflicts. A conflict occurs when two exams are scheduled at the same time.
Resolving Exam Conflicts
In the event of a conflict between two exams scheduled at the same time, it is the student’s responsibility to make arrangements with the instructor(s) to take one exam at an alternate time.

A student with three final exams scheduled for the same day may request to have the third (latest on schedule) exam rescheduled to another day during the exam period. The student should discuss the situation with the instructor and make arrangements to take the third exam at another mutually convenient time.
Unresolved Conflicts
If the exam schedule conflict is unresolved through direct communication with the instructor, the student should request assistance from their college dean’s office.
