Exam Scheduling Guidelines

All classes at the University of Kentucky that offer a final examination are expected to adhere to the below examination schedules and policies.

Common hour final examinations and regular final examinations are scheduled by the Office of the University Registrar and take place during the University's final examination week. Common hour exams are not part of final examination week and are scheduled by the department the class falls under.

Due to special scheduling considerations in the Colleges of Dentistry, Medicine, Pharmacy and the J. David Rosenberg College of Law, classes that are part of professional programs within these colleges may adhere to a different final examination schedule.

Non-Standard Final Examinations

Non-Standard Class Meetings:
Use the final exam period of the standard meeting pattern in which the first day and starting time of the course resides (e.g., a class meeting MTWR 9:30 - 11:00 utilizes the same final exam period as MWF 9:00 - 9:50).

Evening and Weekend Classes Meeting Once a Week:
Classes meeting one time per week will have exams given at the regular class time.

Saturday Classes:
Saturday classes have exams at their regular class time the Saturday before final exam week.

Asynchronous Online Classes:
Instructors of asynchronous online classes are responsible for scheduling a final exam time if they wish to hold a synchronous exam.

Final Examination Scheduling Policies

  • No final examination shall be given before Monday of the designated final exam week.
  • The examination period for all college credit classes is two hours.
  • All grades are due to the Registrar's Office no later than 12:00 PM the Monday immediately after the designated final exam week.
  • Except for the Colleges of Dentistry, Law, Medicine, and Pharmacy, the above schedule of final examinations shall apply to all colleges of the University.
  • It is the responsibility of the student to resolve conflicts in scheduled final examinations by working with the instructors involved in advance of the final examination period.

A final may be given at a time other than its regularly scheduled time in the following instances:

  • In the case of conflicts or undue hardship for an individual instructor, a final examination may be rescheduled upon the recommendation of the chair of the department and with the concurrence of the dean of the college and the University Registrar.
  • In the case of undue hardship for an individual student, a final examination may be rescheduled by the instructor.
  • Any student with more than two final examinations scheduled on any one date shall be entitled to have the examination for the class with the highest catalog number rescheduled.
  • Any student for whom two examinations have been scheduled for the same time shall be entitled to have the examination for the class with the higher catalog number rescheduled.
  • In case this highest number is shared by more than one course, the one whose departmental prefix is first alphabetically will be rescheduled. The option to reschedule must be exercised in writing to the appropriate instructor two weeks prior to the scheduled examination.
  • If an examination schedule conflict is created by faculty rescheduling of an examination, the student shall be entitled to take the rescheduled examination at another time during the examination period by mutual agreement with the instructor.
