Academic Policies

Night Exam Policy
All tests, examinations, and quizzes should normally be administered during the prescribed course hours. Only in this way can the essential contracted nature of the time arrangements between student and professor be preserved and, at the same time, proper provisions be made for the many extracurricular and personal activities involving students and faculty alike. Deviations to allow night exams for valid educational reasons, within the guidelines listed below, must be approved by the department and the dean.

Guidelines
1. Night exams can only be scheduled on Monday through Thursday evenings within the 6:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. time period.
2. Appropriate physical facilities must be arranged for in advance without encroachment upon other authorized university functions.
3. If night exams are to be given, the day of the week on which they will be given must be listed in the Undergraduate Course Schedule at the time of preregistration.
4. No night exam can take precedence over a regularly scheduled class.
5. Arrangements for nonpunitive make-up exams at a mutually agreeable time must be available for students that cannot attend the night exam.
6. For each hour of night exams, an hour of regularly scheduled class time will be cancelled. Such cancellations are prohibited during any period of two class days immediately preceding and any period of two class days immediately following holiday and/or vacation (recess) periods and semester terminations, appearing in the published academic calendar.
