EXAMINATIONS

Final examinations for the spring semester will be administered
Tuesday, May 6 through Friday, May 9, 2008.

The pre-examination study period, between the end of classes and the beginning of final examinations, is set aside for students to prepare for exams. Therefore, the college does not schedule social, academic or cultural activities during this time. Deadlines for papers, take-home exams or other course work cannot be set during the pre-exam study period.

Students are not permitted to complete examinations early and are not permitted to make special arrangements with faculty to complete exams outside the examination period. Students making their end-of-semester travel arrangements should be sure that their plans do not conflict with the examination schedule.

Only the class dean may authorize an extension for any reason beyond the end of the final exam period. Such extensions, granted for reasons of illness, emergency, or extenuating personal circumstances, will always be confirmed in writing with the faculty member, the registrar and the student. An individual faculty member, without authorization by the class dean, may grant extensions on work due during the semester through the last day of exams.

Five College students enrolled in Smith courses are held to the guidelines published here concerning final exams and papers. Five College students requiring extensions for reasons of health or emergency should contact the Class Dean's Office at Smith.
