REVISING “EXAMINATIONS AND GRADES” TO ESTABLISH A POLICY SECTION  

BE IT RESOLVED THAT:  subject to the passage and approval of both this bill and its companion bill establishing a corresponding “procedures” section, Chapter 3, Section C6 of the Faculty Handbook be amended by replacing the existing content with the following “policy” section (with the companion “procedures” to follow it in the Handbook):  

Examinations and Grades Policy  

It is expected that periodic examinations or other assessments will be given in every course. Final examinations, including online finals, are required and should be administered at the times established for them in the regular or special final examination schedules. Online finals will be due during finals week.  Faculty requests for exceptions from either of these schedules will be granted only in cases of extreme hardship.
