If you have a conflict between two or more exams given at the same time:

1. The lower-level course has precedence over an upper-level course. For example, if you have a conflict between a 2000 and a 4000-level course, the instructor of the 4000-level course must provide a make-up exam.
2. If both courses are the same level, you should approach each instructor to determine if one of the instructors will provide a make-up exam.
3. If both instructors refuse to provide a make-up exam, the student should meet with the department schedulers to determine who will provide the make-up exam.
4. If a compromise is not met, the scheduler that was initially approached by the student must ask the Associate Dean to flip a coin and the loser will provide a make-up exam.

If you have more than two exams in one day, you can request that the third exam be given on a different day following the conflict resolution instructions above.

Faculty are strongly encouraged to be flexible in offering alternate exam times for students facing time-zone conflicts. Please also be mindful that not all students have access to reliable internet so an alternate assessment should be provided in that case.

Per the Provost’s memo, classes and final exams may not be scheduled during the designated reading days each semester.
