D11.0 - FINAL EXAMINATION POLICIES
Course instructors will determine the method of student evaluation in
their courses. If this includes a formal final examination, this exam
must be scheduled during exam week as specified in the Institute
calendar. Instructors should make clear in their syllabi whether they
are giving a final exam, or if they are planning an appropriate
educational activity for the 11th week. Instructors will notify their
college scheduling officer to include their course in the final
examination schedule. It is imperative that instructors report by the
end of the add/drop period if they are giving a final exam. Upon
gathering the information, the Registrar's Office will provide the final
examination schedule no later than two weeks after the end of the
add/drop period, and make it available to the entire RIT community.
Instructors may not change the official date and time of the exam. In
extraordinary circumstances, instructors may request their department
head for a change in time. The department head will work with the
college scheduling officer in an attempt to change the time of the exam.
The decision of the department head shall be final.
In case of conflict where the student has two finals scheduled at the
same time, service course examinations will take precedence over home
department examinations. If both examinations are service course
examinations, the class with the larger enrollment will have precedence.
Students have the right (if they wish) not to take three or more final
exams in one day. In a case where the student does have three or more
finals scheduled on the same day, service course examinations will take
precedence over home department course examinations. If two or more of
the examinations are in the home department, the department head will
resolve the issue. If two or more examinations are service course
examinations, the class with the larger enrollment will have precedence
over the others.
In all cases by the last day of the 6th week of classes, the student
should submit a written request for rescheduling to the head of the home
department, with a copy to the instructor being asked to provide the
rescheduled examination. By the last day of the 8th week of classes the
department head will, after consultation with the parties involved,
notify the student of the date of the rescheduled examination. The
decision of the department head shall be considered to be final.
If the instructor chooses not to give a formal final examination, it is
the expectation that the faculty member will treat the 11th week as a
full component of the academic quarter. During this time appropriate
educational activities should be scheduled, including the opportunity
for students to benefit from the instructor's professional counsel.
