Conflict Policy

Sabbath Observers

Students who wish to begin Friday examinations early in order to observe the Sabbath must complete the Sabbath exam accommodations form, and submit the form to the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs. Students are informed of the deadline for such requests by memo and e-mail every semester. Requests must be renewed each semester.

Scheduling Conflicts

Students with exam conflicts are informed of the conflict and their rescheduled exam time(s) via e-mail by the Office of Academic Records. At that time, students may opt out and elect to take their examination(s) on the original exam date(s). Students are informed of the deadline for electing to opt out of their conflict schedule every semester. Exam conflicts exist only in the following situations:

(a) Examinations that are scheduled on the same calendar day.

(b) An evening examination followed by a morning examination on consecutive calendar days.

The Office of Academic Records determines which examination(s) will be postponed and the date and time that the rescheduled examination will be given. Rescheduled examinations are typically given no more than one week after the regularly scheduled examination.

Special rules apply to summer school examinations. Those rules are available at the Office of Academic Records.
