Faculty pass final examination policy

Dickinson College faculty passed three resolutions regulating finals beginning with the fall 1986 final examination period.

The first resolution states that no final tests or examinations (with the exception of laboratory finals) will be given in the last five class days of the semester nor during the reading period.

The second resolutions states that all proctored examinations will be given in the examination period at the time scheduled for the course by the Registrar.

The third resolution states that when a final examination is not accommodated in the regular examination schedule, the instructor of the course must schedule the examination in consultation with the Registrar's Office. Any rescheduling must not force a student to take three or more exams within a 24 hour period.

These resolution changes followed increased complaints that students had to compromise their performance on final examinations due to poor class and exam scheduling.
