2.	Athletic events are not to be scheduled, except on weekends.
3.	Faculty are not to schedule field trips or major examinations.
4.	Exceptions to (3) above are quizzes, laboratory examinations, and individual instruction courses such as some sections of MAT 110 which are self-paced and allow the students to select when to take the final.
5.	Major research papers should be assigned as early as practical in the semester and students should be encouraged to submit such papers before End of Term Week.
6.	Take-home final examinations are due at the time scheduled for the final examination.
7.	Under no circumstances may a final exam be moved to End of Term Week, with or without the consent of the students in the course, except in the individualized instruction courses as explained in (4) above.

There will be a final examination in all undergraduate courses where a final exam is considered by the faculty of a department to be appropriate. Exceptions require prior approval of the dean of the college or school.

FINAL EXAMINATIONS MUST BE HELD IN ALL COURSES AND MUST BE SCHEDULED AT THE TIME THAT CONFORMS WITH THE ABOVE SCHEDULE. EXCEPTIONS REQUIRE PRIOR APPROVAL OF THE DEAN OF THE COLLEGE OR SCHOOL.

If there is difficulty fitting various courses into the published schedule, the instructor must choose the starting time of the closest examination period. A poll of the class should determine whether there would be an actual conflict. If insurmountable problems are encountered, the instructor must contact the department head or, if necessary, the dean.

NAU's policy is that no student should be forced to take more than two final exams in a day. If you are scheduled for three or more exams in one day, it is your responsibility to seek an alternative schedule. At least three weeks before the schedule exam(s), you should first approach the department chair or faculty member about the exam(s) scheduled between the first and last exams of the day. Unless there are pedagogical problems with doing so (such as a common exam or the use of lab or other special equipment), the department chair or faculty member should provide an alternative date for you to take the exam(s).

All class examinations for courses starting 5 p.m. or later must be scheduled for the first regular meeting time during examinations week (see schedule above). For courses that meet daily, four days per week, or once a week, the examination may be held at the first scheduled period for the hour.

Where the course objectives provide for a type of final examination that differs from the ordinary, a different type of exam or evaluation may be provided, with prior approval by the dean of the college by midterm. Students in IITV courses that don't fit the above exam schedule have their exams on the first regular meeting day at the regular time. Final Web exams will be given on the date and in the manner specified in the course syllabus. Examination times listed in the schedule will take precedence when there is a conflict on examination times.
