Academic Rules and Regulations

[UA SCEP]

Hi All,

Even though the end of term seems is still a few weeks away, please check your
syllabi to make sure your professors aren't assigning work inappropriately,
such as tests after December 4th. The earlier you report the problem, the more
likely UA SCEP will be able to resolve it in an effective manner! We cannot
guarantee the resolution of violations reported at the very end of term.

Hope we can help and thanks for taking the time to check.

A Brief Summary of the Rules and Regulations:

This year, December 4th is that last day for tests.

Classes w/o Final Exams:
- No test given after Dec 4th
- Only one (1) assignment due between Dec 4th and Dec 10th, the last day of
class.

Classes with Final Exams:
- No test given after Dec 4th
- No assignment due after Dec 4th
- Optional Self-Study assignments can be assigned between Dec 4th and Dec 10th.
However, these cannot count to the grade in any way, not even as extra credit
or substitutes for earlier assignments.

Ex camera (take-home) final examinations:
- Must be scheduled through the Registrar.
- Offered over one afternoon ? from 1:30 P.M. and ending before 7:30 P.M.
