Exams during the term are only to be given during the regular class session. Exceptions to this include take-home exams, online exams with flexible timing, accommodated testing through disability services, and make-up exams. Only under unusual circumstances will other exceptions be considered, and must be requested the semester prior and approved in writing by the department head, dean, and EVCAA. Requests for exceptions must be made on a semester by semester basis. Any regularly scheduled examination to be held outside of regular class time must be listed in the published class schedule, course syllabus, and announced on the first day of class. Accommodations must be provided to any student who encounters an academic, work-related, or other valid conflict.
