- If a class will hold its final exam as indicated on the University final exam schedule in its regular general purpose classroom, there is no need for you to contact us. Your final exam will be scheduled centrally.
- If a class is not holding an in-person exam during finals week (Thursday, May 7 – Wednesday, May 13, 2020), please email ocmsched@umn.edu by February 14, 2020.
- Use the subject line “Spring 2020 Final Exam”
- Include the designator/section number(s) in the email text
- Due to the high demand for larger classrooms for finals week, it is especially helpful to know when a large class will not need a classroom for a final exam.
- If a class is requesting a change to the date and time of an exam, or to change or add a location to an exam, submit a Final Exam Change Request form by February 18. You will automatically receive a copy of your final exam change request; and when final exam scheduling is completed, you will receive an email confirmation of the outcome. While the Office of Classroom Management (OCM) does its best to accommodate special requests, there is a possibility that your request may not be fulfilled. Finals may not be scheduled on Spring 2020 Study Days, which are May 5,6 and 10.
- Special clarification on the Thursday-Wednesday final exam week.
- The first day of spring 2020 final exams is Thursday, May 7.
- All classes that meet on Thursdays at 4:00 p.m or later in a general purpose classroom (GPC) will be scheduled for a final exam on Thursday, May 7, 2020.
- This includes classes that meet multiple days of the week, such as Tuesday/Thursday classes, Monday/Thursday classes, and Monday-Thursday classes.
Reminders:
- If a class is on the pre-approved Common Exams list for the semester, a Final Exam Change Request form must still be submitted in order to assign appropriate classrooms.
- Event requests for classrooms during finals week are not scheduled until after the completion of official final exam scheduling. Submitting an event request through Astra Schedule for a classroom needed for a final exam does NOT increase the likelihood that the room will be available for you.
