DEAD WEEK
To provide students time to prepare for final examinations and other
end-of-course assignments, the University maintains the following dead week
policy. There is a designated period each semester during which no written
examination, test, or quiz will be given. Refer to the Academic Calendar for
specific dates for each semester.
Laboratory components of courses will be excluded, and the last regularly
scheduled day of such classes may be used for final examinations. Oral
presentations and other non-written activities will be permitted.
Examinations rescheduled for the benefit of individual students will be
allowed.Instructors who believe their ability to evaluate students adequately in a
particular course is jeopardized or impaired by this rule may petition, in
writing, their respective college dean for an exception for the particular
course. All exceptions shall be reported to the Academic Vice President, who
will make a summary report each semester to the Faculty Senate for their
information.
No intercollegiate athletic events may be added after midterm to the
schedule during dead week, with the exception of tournament-type play for
which a berth has been earned by a team or individual player as a result of
earlier competition.
