All instructors are reminded of the University policy governing mid-term evening examination hours for daytime classes.  A summary of this policy, approved by the Faculty Senate on May 10, 1982, is as follows:
 

Two evening examination periods have been established for daytime classes that require evening mid-term examinations.  The first period is to accommodate examinations of 90 minutes and is scheduled from 5:30 - 7:00 p.m.  Examinations can begin any time before or during this period as long as they end no later than 7:00 p.m.  The second period begins at 7:15 p.m. and will accommodate longer exams.  Exceptions to this general policy may be authorized by the Academic Vice Chancellor.  A request for an exception should first receive your respective dean's recommendation, and then be forwarded to the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs for final decision.

Instructors of daytime courses who plan to give evening mid-term examinations must footnote such intentions in the Timetable so students will be aware of potential conflicts with evening courses or other commitments.  Whenever possible, times and/or days of evening examinations should also be footnoted.

Instructors who schedule evening examinations should make every possible effort to accommodate students with unavoidable conflicts.

In courses where conflicts with evening examinations have been a problem, classes should be scheduled to end before 7:00 p.m. or to begin at 7:15 p.m. or later to minimize potential conflicts with evening examinations.

Questions regarding this policy can be directed to either your dean's office or the Vice Chancellor's office.
