  • Regular session courses are those that meet for the entire 16-week term.
  • Non-standard session courses are those meeting during the term for a shorter or longer period of time than a regular session course.

II. Examinations for other regular session courses that begin BEFORE 5:00 PM

Examination Matrix (before 5 p.m.)

1. Determine the appropriate Meeting Pattern designator.

T* = meets TU, T, U, TW, TF, MT, MTUF, TWUF, MTU, MTF, MUF, TWU, TWF, TUF, or TUS

W** = meets MWF, MW, M,W, F, MTWUF, MTWU, MTWF, MWUF, MTW, MWU, WUF, MU, MF, WU, or WF

2. Use the course start time to find the time range in the corresponding T* or W** row.

Example: Class regularly meets MWF at 11:30 a.m so the Meeting Pattern designator is W.  11:30 a.m. falls in the time range 10:35 - 11:30 a.m. so the final exam is Thursday, Dec. 10, 11:50 a.m. - 1:40 p.m.

Example: Class regularly meets TU at 8:05 a.m. so the Meeting Pattern designator is T.  8:05 a.m. falls in the time range 7:35 - 8:30 a.m. so the final exam is Monday, Dec. 7, 2:00 - 3:50 p.m.
