Final Examination Schedule
NMSU policy regarding students who have multiple final exams scheduled on the same day and time is for the individual instructor to work with each student to identify an alternative test time (ARP 4.50 Part 10). If you foresee a room scheduling conflict with another class please contact Academic Scheduling at acasched@nmsu.edu. In accordance with the State of New Mexico space utilization requirements, final exams are scheduled in rooms based on actual enrollment. *NOTE: Final exams for weekend courses will be held at the regular class period on the last day of class.
The Student Records Office begins scheduling final exams after Mini-Semester 2 census has passed to ensure all sections are scheduled and enrolled. Final Exams for Standard Timeblock sections and Non-Standard Timeblock sections will be displayed in the Published Schedule at a minimum of two-weeks before Finals week, however, the office is striving to have exams available as soon as we can.
For Departmental CLSS Users
Here is some information on how best to utilize the CLSS Final Exam functions and ensure timely assignment of exams and rooms.
- Any section that has a standard-timeblock should select the”Standard Timeblock” option, they will then have the exam display on the published schedule for the day/time that corresponds to the final exam schedule. These sections will also be in the room that is already scheduled for the section as long as there are no conflicts.
- For the Non-Standard Final Exam Timeblock – departments will need to select this field and the scheduling department will work to assign the day/time that corresponds closely with the sections schedule meeting pattern. They will also try to keep the room as scheduled but if it is unavailable due to a standard timeblock section having the room, the non-standard section will be moved to a new room. The exams will display on the published schedule.
- Courses that are a part of the Departmental Exam schedule will have the Departmental Exam option added for them and the exam will display on the published schedule for the day/time that corresponds to the final exam schedule. The Scheduling Department will work with the departments to determine a room for this exam.
- All Labs section will automatically not have exams scheduled and should have the”No Exam: Lab Section” assigned to the Final Exam Field. If the department wants to schedule a Lab exam they will need to select ” Schedule a Lab Final Exam” as the option, and the exam will be scheduled in the same fashion as non-standard timeblocks.
- If the section is scheduled as WB (Online with no Synchronous Mtgs) or ONL (Online with Synchronous Mtgs) the final exam MUST be held online as advertised to students. These exams will not be added to banner (display on the published schedule) and are the responsibility of the instructor to communicate the information to students.
- For sections that do not need a physical space for an exam during finals week, as they will have another final option for students, like presentations, papers, etc., use the “No Room Needed: Final Online” option for the final exam field.
- For sections that are needing to differ drastically from their scheduled meeting pattern (i.e., the exam is in the morning and the section meets in the afternoon) departments should use the “Request a different room from the section scheduled one” and will complete an Event Request Form for the exam meeting.
The dates of final exam week, for any given semester, can be found on the Academic Calendar.
