The final examination schedule for Spring 2014 is located at:
http://www.uakron.edu/law/about/calendar.dot
As with every year, we took the final class lists and compared enrollment in every exam class with the enrollment in every other exam class. Based on that, we determined the number of conflicts between each class. We then scheduled the largest classes with the most graduating seniors as early in the examination period as possible, to permit them to be graded by the Monday after exam week, which permits us to meet the graduation deadline and to award honors accurately.
We will redistribute the exam schedule once room assignments are set. For any exams which require the use of multiple rooms we will also update and stagger the starting times.
The resulting exam schedule is the best schedule for spacing out exams for the vast majority of students. Inevitably, however, a few students have course loads that result in their individual schedules being less than optimum. This is unavoidable given the wide range of courses each student takes.
Conflicts: An examination conflict consists if two examinations are scheduled at the same time or three examinations are scheduled within 24 hours. Part-time students who have examinations on both the first Wednesday and first Friday of exam period, and full-time students who have three examinations between the first Wednesday and Sunday of exam period are granted relief at their option. Any student permitted to reschedule should do so with a full-time faculty member whenever possible. It is the students’ responsibility for contacting the faculty to make alternate arrangements.
Reschedule for Unexpected Illness: Students who are ill may contact the professor to reschedule an examination BEFORE the time of the examination. Once a student sits for an examination, the student must complete that examination and receive that grade. Examinations that are rescheduled due to conflict or illness must be rescheduled within exam period to the earliest available time. If illness prevents rescheduling during exam period, the examination must be scheduled no later than the start of the next semester. Students who cannot reschedule an examination before the next semester should consult with the Associate Dean or Assistant Dean of Students Services about a leave.
