Other Resources

Final Exams Information & Form

  • If faculty want ALL SECTIONS of one particular course to be held together in one room, at one time, this is defined as a COMMON EXAM.  
  • If the exam is to be offered ONLINE, please know that a day and time will still be assigned. We cannot schedule exams outside of the rubric as it is used to avoid potential conflicts for students.  The rubric does its best to attempt create the least amount of conflicts for students.
  • Requesting times or days outside of the provided rubric creates issues for students and other faculty, please do not make requests unless absolutely necessary.
  • Final Exam Schedule Conflicts

If an error is found, the instructor must notify their Department Head. The Department Head can request changes via the Student Services Manager if an error is confirmed. 

 

Using the Registration Overrides in SIS (Instructions provided by the Registrar's Office)

  • Override for closed courses
  • Override pre-requisites (include co-requisites)
  • Override for restricted courses
  • Instructor Approval (course is set up so a student can only register for a section with approval)

 

When to use the Authorization Form, rather than SIS:

  • Schedule Conflict: Approval to take courses occurring on the same day/time.
  • Credit Overload: Instructor permission is not required for this request

 

If you have any issues overriding a student into your section, please Submit a Request to the Registrar's Office for support.
