Course examinations are given at the option of the instructor. If midterms are to be given, they are normally scheduled during a regular class period at approximately the eighth week of the semester. It is the policy of the Faculty of D’Youville University that online exams, when scheduled to occur on a specific day, should not be scheduled on days when the university is officially closed for academic holidays. Any exceptions to this policy will require approval from the Academic Dean of that
school.

A student should not regularly have more than three final examinations in any specific day. In the instance where this occurs, students should bring documentation (i.e., registration record and exam schedule) to the attention of the professors involved, who may make alternative arrangements in individual cases. Professors who find that a substantial number of students have such conflicts may consider rescheduling their examinations.

In those cases when the examination schedule must be postponed or interrupted because of external forces (e.g., weather), examinations will be rescheduled as soon as feasible.
