Regular examinations, midterm and final, are held each semester. If necessary, there may be non-regular examinations; the dean of the department may obtain approval to administer additional examinations.
The official exam schedule is indicated on the academic calendar; however, certain midterm exams and final exams may be held before or after the official exam period at the discretion of the instructor. Some courses may not require midterms or finals but special assignments as replacement.
Please follow your instructor’s guidelines regarding when, where, and how the exams will be administered as he/she has full discretion over these matters.
After the final examinations, instructors submit the grades on the KU Portal, where you can check your tentative grades afterwards. If you object to any grade that you received, please discuss the matter with your instructor.
