1). for any student who has two examinations which BEGIN within 24 hours. Examinations which BEGIN more than 25 hours apart (for example, at 9:00 a.m. on one day and 1:30 p.m. on the following calendar day), DO NOT constitute a conflict under this rule.

2). for any student who has three examinations scheduled within four consecutive days, or four examinations scheduled within five consecutive days.

Students with exam conflicts will automatically be assigned a new exam schedule approximately six weeks before the exam period.  Students will be notified of the new exam dates and times via e-mail.  The new exam schedule will also appear on the Online Exam/Paper Management System.  The Exam/Paper Management System will be updated periodically throughout the semester and daily during the exam periods.

An exam conflict does not permit the student to self-schedule examinations.  The conflicting examination to be changed will be determined by the Office of the Registrar. Examinations rescheduled because of conflicts may be given at any date during the examination period or on the date listed for deferred examinations on the academic calendar.

If, after the Office of the Registrar has rescheduled an examination conflict, there is a material change in a student’s examination schedule (i.e., withdrawal from a course, substitution of a take-home examination or a paper option for an in-class examination, etc.) which would eliminate the conflict, it is the student’s responsibility under the Student Disciplinary Code, as outlined in the Conduct Policies section of the Bulletin, to notify the Office of the Registrar of the change in order to determine whether he or she remains eligible for a rescheduled examination.
