We are assigned a room, and a two-hour time-slot, during which both Exam #5 and Exam #6 are given.

Further, if a student is scheduled to take three final examinations on the same day, the faculty member running the chronologically middle exam shall be required to offer a make-up exam. Proof of conflict shall be provided to the instructor by the student at least two weeks prior to the time the examination is scheduled. Proof may be obtained at the Registrar's Office, 213 Whitmore.
