Exam Policies

Appendix D

Policy on Administration of Exams

The MIS Department expects all courses to include appropriate procedures for evaluating student performance. For many undergraduate courses, these procedures will include a final exam, a final paper or project, or some other cumulative activity appropriate to the discipline and to the course.

Midterm and final examinations, whether in an on-campus or an online course, must be given during the one-week period set aside by the University for this purpose; likewise, final examinations must be given at the time specified on the Faculty's Midterm and Final Examination Schedule page.

No exams or quizzes of any kind may be given during the last week of a course, including both on-campus or online courses. However, please note that this policy does not extend to labs even if the lab is graded and has components of a quiz associated with the lab experience.

All courses are assigned a final examination time within the final examination week.

Take-home final exams must use the specified final exam period as the last possible time that the take-home exam may be turned in.

In courses where papers or projects rather than a final examination constitute the last evaluation activity, instructors may use the scheduled final exam period as the due date for the project/paper.

Instructors also may use the final examination period to meet with students to discuss the papers/projects.

Information on the use of the final examination period and its duration should be told to students as soon as possible. Instructors should still put as much information about the final exam as possible in the syllabus, including its duration and a reminder to students not to plan travel until the exam date and time is announced.
