 FINAL EXAMINATIONS
The final examination schedule is published
each semester in the current SDSU Course Schedule (Annual SDSU Course
Schedule). Time for an examination with two or more credits is determined
by the student’s first contact of the week in each course. First recitation
of the week is considered the first contact (If the class is a laboratory
only see #2 below). Since some Nursing courses are “blocked,” SDSU course
schedule for finals may need to be altered. Check with your Semester/Term Coordinator
at the beginning of the semester to determine final examination schedule.
1. Course of 1-hour or less credit or laboratory
only will have the final examination on the
2. The present policy with a scheduled final
exam week will be continued with the following
A. Any instructor wishing to waive the right to a final exam must do so by submitting a request to the department head for approval. The department head will then forward such request to the college dean. The right to waive the final examination does not, however, preclude the University policy, which requires that in the event that the exam is not given, the instructor must be available to the students for a learning experience during the designated period. B. If there are instances where a student had more than three exams within one day, the Registrar will assist the student in arranging test rescheduling. The individual department will handle other reasons for individual students missing a scheduled examination. Each department will decide what will, or will not, be acceptable as an excuse, and deal with the individual hardship cases. In the event of a department-approved excuse, the instructor will decide the procedure necessary to complete the course requirement. Instructors must have the consent of the department head in excusing the student. It would be expected that all departments will accept illness and emergency within the immediate family as being legitimate basis for rescheduling the exam. C. Each department head and the dean are responsible for enforcing the above policies. The Task Force on Qualitative Grading recommends the follow process: When a student receives an A+, A, A-, etc. grade for an assignment, the following conversion is used: Grading Scale Approved 12/15/96
Rationale: Consistency is assigning value for various assignments for a course can be accomplished by using a standard conversation scale. Example of how the conversion scale works in
one course
