Frequently Asked Questions

The Academic Code states that "No student shall be required to take in one calendar day more than two scheduled examinations worth 15 percent or more of the student’s final grade."

Students wishing to reschedule an exam due to this policy should contact a Mendoza advisor at least one full week prior to the exam date in question.  You will need to show syllabi for all courses involved to confirm the conflict.  The advisor will validate the conflict, determine the appropriate accommodation and notify the impacted professor.  It is then up to the professor and student to agree on an appropriate date and time for the make up exam.

• When two examinations conflict (at the same time), priority usually will be granted to the larger course (as measured to include all sections taking a common examination).
• When class size does not determine the outcome, lower-numbered courses usually take precedence over higher-numbered ones.
