Exam Time Slots

The Final Exam time slot is determined by:

  • Block exam slot, OR

  • Class start time + Day of the week

The exam time is determined by credits.

Final exam times and room assignments are available in Student Center after the 30th day of instruction. The Class by Class Exam Schedule lists exam times for individual class sections.

Determining the time slot

Most final exam time slots are determined by when the class section is offered, with the exception of Block Exams. Exam times are determined by the first meeting pattern when a section has more than one meeting pattern. When in doubt, use the Class by Class Exam Schedule.

Block Exams

Block exams are mass examinations conducted for all sections of the listed course. The Block exam time overrides the single section time slot. Look at the Block Exam column first!

  • Example: CHEM 101, 102, 105, 106, 345, and 348 are block exams. All sections of these courses take their exam during the Block exam time in slot 34.

Class Start Time

Use the START time of the class section to determine which time slot the exam is using. The available range does not match normal class meeting patterns; it is a range the covers a variety of class start times. The class end time is not considered.

  • Example: MWF 8:10 class section is in time slot 41 because the class start time, 8:10am, falls within the listed range of 7:30-8:59am for slot 41.

Class Day

  • M, W, F: For classes offered Monday, Wednesday, and/or Friday.

  • Tu, Th: For classes offered Tuesday and/or Thursday.

  • Daily: For classes offered 4-5 days per week.
