Common Exam Guidelines (Rule 80)

Common exams are an option for undergraduate courses with multiple class sections or any class with 2% of the total student body.

Up to four (4) common exams may be scheduled outside of the official class meeting time.

The common exam must:

  • Include all sections of the course, AND

  • Be scheduled during an approved time block, AND

  • Not conflict with a previously scheduled Common exam, AND

  • Must replace an existing class time, though a class period lost to a WSU holiday may be used for this.
