Know Your Rights: A guide to end-of-term academic policies

[Noah Jessop]

Hi all,

As the end of term approaches, it's important to know what Professors 
can require of you according to Institute policy.  The UA Student 
Committee on Education Policy (SCEP) is working for you!

Best,

Noah

*After Friday, December 5:*

- No test should be given unless scheduled for finals week through the 
Schedules Office (this includes unit tests).  You can check here: 
http://web.mit.edu/registrar/www/schedules/exams.html

- No assignment may be due in a subject in which there is an exam during 
finals week

- Optional assignments due between Friday, December 5 and the last 
scheduled class period should be for self-study and should not be used 
toward part of the grade, even for extra points or as substitutes for 
earlier assignments

- At most one assignment can be due in a class in which there is no 
exams during finals week.  It must be due by the last regularly 
scheduled class (Wed, Dec. 10)


*/Ex camera/ (take-home) final examinations:*

- should be scheduled through the Schedules Office (see link above)

- should be offered over the course of a single afternoon --- starting 
at 1:30 P.M. and ending no later than at 7:30 P.M. should permit 
students unrestricted use of resources.


A student may be excused from a scheduled final examination for reasons 
of illness or significant personal problems. Undergraduates should 
contact a dean in Counseling and Support Services 
(web.mit.edu/counsel/www <http://web.mit.edu/counsel/www>) if they wish 
to seek an excused absence.
