Final exams are held during the semester’s exam period, which follows the last week of classes. Final exams are typically scheduled for the same day, time period, and room as the scheduled course, when possible.
Educator Responsibilities with Exams
- Per the MSU Code of Teaching Responsibility, course instructors must include the date and location of any final examination in the syllabus.
- MSU's exam policy states that a student can’t be required to take more than two exams in one day. You can encourage students in either situation to contact the Academic Student Affairs Office in their college for help managing conflicts or arranging for an alternate time.
Final Exam Details
- Instructor Systems on the Registrar's website hosts final exam details under "Final Exams" of the Faculty & Staff section.
- The Instructor Systems will also show you the names of any students with an exam conflict and/or who have three or more exams on the same day.
The full MSU final exam policy can be found on the Office of the Registrar website, with further details for scheduling exams in classes with different modalities, requesting a different room, the expectation that instructors will be accessible to students via office hours, and other aspects of exam week.
