Exam Times
Each semester Grinnell College has four days of exams (Tuesday through Friday).
Each day has two exam times:
- 9 a.m. to noon
- 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Monday is a reading day and no exam may be scheduled on this day under any circumstances.
Exam Changes and Conflicts
College policy stipulates that neither students nor faculty members may make changes in the published examination schedule without prior approval of the Registrar.
If a student has two exams scheduled at the same hour, such conflicts should be resolved by discussion with the appropriate instructor. If a student has two exams in the same day, they should not expect the faculty to reschedule their exam.
Arranged Class Times
Examinations for students in classes meeting at arranged hours will be during the final exam week at the time assigned to the time slot during which the arranged course met.
Last Possible Due Date for All Work
All take-home exams must be submitted to the appropriate instructors by the date stipulated by the instructors, or, at the latest, by 5 p.m. on the final day of the exam period (Dec. 20). All other written work, or oral defenses of written work, required in various courses will also be due by 5 p.m. on Dec. 20, but instructors may also stipulate earlier due dates for this work if they so choose.
Students who have justifiable reasons for submitting course work later than the deadline stipulated are expected to work out arrangements for grades of Incomplete and extensions of time with their instructors, in accordance with the procedure for doing so as set forth in the Academic Catalog. No grade of incomplete will be processed by the Registrar’s Office if the Registrar has not granted prior approval.
