<div style="background-color: white;"><font face="Arial,sans-serif" color="#222222" size="3">As we get close to finals, please take a moment to check your syllabi to resolve potential conflicts and violations. Although the semester is almost over, it is important
to confirm that your syllabi follow the guidelines especially before it becomes an immediate problem during finals week.</font></div>

</font></div>
<div style="background-color: white;"><font face="Arial,sans-serif" color="#222222" size="3">There are rules governing when and how tests and assignments are given near the end of the semester. Please check if your classes comply with MITs rules for end-of-term
tests and assignments. Your professors might not be aware of these rules! Here are a few key examples:</font></div>
<div style="background-color: white;"><font face="Arial,sans-serif" color="#222222" size="3"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="background-color: white;"><font face="Arial,sans-serif" color="#222222" size="3"> No exams are allowed after May 10th</font></div>
<div style="background-color: white;"><font face="Arial,sans-serif" color="#222222" size="3"> For classes with finals, no assignments can be due after May 10th</font></div>
<div style="background-color: white;"><font face="Arial,sans-serif" color="#222222" size="3"> For classes without finals, one assignment can be due between May 10th and May 16th</font></div>
<div style="background-color: white;"><font face="Arial,sans-serif" color="#222222" size="3"> Take-home finals must be open-book and open-note</font></div>
<div style="background-color: white;"><font face="Segoe UI,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif" size="3"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="background-color: white;"><font face="Arial,sans-serif" color="#222222" size="3">If you think one of your classes is breaking a rule, there are several steps that you can take. If you are comfortable doing so, you can talk to the professor directly.
You can also report the violation anonymously to the UA or to the Chair of the Faculty. Please reach out as soon as possible. Late in the semester, violations become increasingly difficult to resolve in a manner that is fair to everyone.</font></div>
