ADOPT: APRIL 8, 1985
REVISED: MAY 8, 2001
TITLE 5: 51002, 55750
The College recognizes that an examination, project, or review activity at the conclusion of a course is an important opportunity for learning and the assessment of learning. Accordingly, a period of time at the conclusion of each semester and summer session is scheduled for such finals to take place.
Full Semester and Summer Session Courses
Finals will be scheduled in 165 minute blocks, with fifteen minute passing periods between them. Finals in courses of more than two units can take the entire 165 minutes; finals in courses of two units or less can take up to 110 minutes.
Final examinations in full semester and summer session on-line courses will be offered during the College's official final examination period, in a manner to be arranged by the instructor. The arrangements must be communicated to students at the beginning of the course.
A student shall be allowed to make alternative arrangements for the final only because of exceptional circumstances such as emergency or final examinations schedule conflict. Such exceptions must have the prior approval of the instructor.
An instructor shall be allowed to deviate from the published final schedule only if the change will not create a final schedule conflict or other hardship on students. Any such change requires prior approval of the department chair and supervising administrator, and must be communicated to students immediately.
Short Courses
Final examinations in short courses, if appropriate, will be offered during the last class session of each course, in a manner to be arranged by the instructor. The arrangements must be communicated to students at the beginning of the course.
A student shall be allowed to make alternative arrangements only because of exceptional circumstances such as emergency or final examinations schedule conflict. Such exceptions must have the prior approval of the instructor.
