Inclement Weather Interruption
The weather event on Wednesday, December 15th, caused significant disruption to many final examination plans.
Salina campus:
K-State Salina final exams have been canceled for the rest of the week due to continued complications from Wednesday’s events. Students are encouraged to contact your instructors with any questions or concerns.
Manhattan campus:
Final exams scheduled after 4 p.m. on Dec. 15: Any exam that was postponed due to weather on Dec. 15 is rescheduled for Friday, Dec. 17, at the same location, but two hours earlier than originally scheduled, based on the Set-Examination Schedule, as listed below:
Group Exams | |
Original Scheduled Time | New Scheduled Time |
Wednesday, December 15th, 6:20-8:10pm | Friday, December 17th, 4:10-6:00pm |
Regular Session Course Exams | |
Original Scheduled Time | New Scheduled Time |

**Room location should be the same and you will be notified if there is an update to the location based on conflicts with Friday exams. Check your KSIS Schedule for updates.
Due to the large number of sections being moved, students should make every effort to complete the course as assigned. Given the unusual circumstances, students who are unable to take the exam on the new day and time should work directly with their instructor to identify alternatives. Please note that the instructor has no control over the schedule provided and that we are all working to address the emergency situation. Your grace and flexibility are appreciated.
Final exams given from 2-3:50 p.m. December 15th: Some final examinations were in process during the weather event. We understand that students may have felt unsafe or anxious during the exam and some exams may have been cut short. In such instances, we ask that you work directly with your instructor regarding options to complete your exam. Students registered with the Student Access Center can continue to work with that office for accommodation.

Note: The following definitions apply to Sections II, III and IV below:
- 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, TUS, or UF
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.
| Meeting Pattern | Examination Date/Day | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 13 Monday | Dec 14 Tuesday | Dec 15 Wednesday | Dec 16 Thursday | Dec 17 Friday | EXAM TIME | ||
| Course | Start | Time | |||||
| T* | 2:35 – 3:30 pm | 9:35 – 10:30 am | 1:35 – 2:30 pm | 11:35 am – 12:30 pm | 10:35 -11:30 am | 9:40 am - 11:30 am | |
| W** | 8:35 – 9:30 am | 7:35 – 8:30 am | 9:35 – 10:30 am | 10:35 – 11:30 am | 12:35 am - 1:30 pm | 11:50 am - 1:40 pm | |
| T* | 7:35 – 8:30 am | 6:00 – 7:30 am | 8:35 – 9:30 am | 12:35 – 1:30 pm | 3:35 - 4:30 pm | 2:00 pm - 3:50 pm | |
| W** | 11:35 am – 12:30 pm | 1:35 – 2:30 pm | 3:35 – 4:30 pm | 6:00 – 7:30 am | 2:35 - 3:30 pm | 4:10 pm - 6:00 pm | |
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. 16, 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. 13, 2:00 - 3:50 p.m.
III. Examinations for regular session courses that begin 5:00 PM OR LATER
