  • 4/1 Storrs Finals Rescheduling for Spring 2015

    STORRS FINALS RESCHEDULING FOR SPRING 2015

    Effective April 1, 2015, students may receive permission to reschedule if they have finals which are "bunched" or if a student has an "extenuating circumstance".

    If approval is granted, it is expected that students will inform instructors of their conflict(s) prior to the final.

    To access the finals schedule, go to: www.registrar.uconn.edu

     

    BUNCHED FINALS

    Students who have "bunched finals" should go to the i-center at the entrance to the Wilbur Cross Building no later than April 24th.

    Students who do not request permission by April 24th will not be granted permission to reschedule their exams.

    Bunched finals include the following:

    • · 2 finals scheduled at the same time
    • · 3 finals in one calendar day
    • · 3 finals in consecutive time blocks spanning parts of two consecutive days
    • · 4 finals in two consecutive days

     

    EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES

    Students with extenuating circumstances are encouraged to visit the Dean of Students Office to speak to a staff member as soon as possible. Staff may allow students to reschedule a final due to an unavoidable circumstance, such as religious observances, previously scheduled medical procedures/appointments, attendance at a funeral, or other ceremonies in which you are directly involved in the event. Supporting documentation will be required.

    Finals are not rescheduled for personal errors, like oversleeping or misreading the finals schedule. Finals are generally not rescheduled due to voluntary travel conflicts. Students (and parents) are encouraged to check the finals schedule before making travel plans.

    Students who have prior knowledge of a conflict (bunched finals, religious event/obligation, court date, previously scheduled medical appointment, or other qualifying event) must come to DOS prior to April 24, 2015. Students who do not come by April 24th for reasons that were known or should have been known prior to this deadline will NOT be granted permission to reschedule their final(s).

    Students with an immediate illness must be seen by Student Health Services for verification of illness. Student Health Services will provide this information to the Dean of Students Office and Dean of Students Office will inform the instructor(s) of permission to reschedule the final. Students who are ill and see Student Health Services do not need to also visit the Dean of Students Office.

    UNIVERSITY EMERGENCY/CLOSINGS

    In cases of University closings (emergency or severe weather conditions), finals may be rescheduled from the original date/time. The Office of the Registrar will determine the makeup finals schedule in these instances. Please check with the Office of the Registrar website for the most up to date information available.
