Academic Rules and Regulations

[UA SCEP]

Hi All,

As end of term is fast approaching, 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.

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.
- 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
