Final Exam Overload

A final exam overload situation exists if the Registrar's office has scheduled three exams in consecutive periods or within one calendar day (policy 44-25).

  • Overload situations are identified on the student's final exam schedule.
  • Students may elect to take their scheduled exams or request that a final exam be rescheduled.
  • To request relief from an overload situation, the student uses the eLion "Final Exam Schedule" application.
  • The Registrar's office determines which exam will be rescheduled and notifies the student and the instructor by e-mail.
