Final Examination Schedules

Final examination schedules are listed in the printed class schedules and at the counter of the Office of Student Records and Registration located in Founders Hall. Finals at UNK will be scheduled Monday through Thursday during the last week of the semester. Policies relating to Finals Week are as follows:

1. Final examinations for full semester classes are to be given at the regularly scheduled examination time only, as published in the official Schedule of Classes, during Finals Week.

2. During the week prior to Finals Week, the only examinations that may be given are: laboratory practical examinations, makeup or repeat examinations, and self-paced examinations.

3. Projects, papers, and speeches scheduled for completion during the last week of classes must have been assigned in writing by the end of the eighth week of the semester. This refers to the project and its scope, not the topic.

4. Complaints about failure to follow the above outlined procedures should be made immediately to the appropriate chairperson, dean, or the Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs, if necessary.

5. Any courses not having an examination during Finals Week will meet under the directions of the instructor during the scheduled (Finals Week) time period for a continuation of regular class work.

6. Exceptions to this policy may be granted by the Dean on the basis of good and sufficient reasons submitted by the instructor to the Dean in writing.
