Welcome! Department Head Meeting January 29, 2019

Announcements Final Exams “In-class final examinations must be given in the places and at the times scheduled by the University.” It should be noted that faculty are not required to give a final exam. However, if an in-class final exam is given, it must be administered during finals week. Reminder: Final Exam Opt Out form

Announcements Ramadan Guidance Instructors are strongly encouraged to make reasonable accommodations in response to a student request to make-up a final examination missed by absence resulting from observance of Ramadan. An example of a religious accommodation may include the rescheduling of an evening exam to earlier that same day. Instructors should not ask a student for proof that their religious practices or beliefs are sincerely held for determining a religious accommodation. Answers to frequently asked questions about the Religious Accommodation Policy can be found here.
