There are some special circumstances that grant students the ability to request permission to reschedule finals. Students may use this form to submit a request to reschedule a final exam due to bunched finals or because of extenuating circumstances.

All requests will be reviewed and students will be notified of the final decision by email. Requests to reschedule due to extenuating circumstances must include supporting documentation. Submitting an online rescheduling request does not guarantee approval. The deadline for bunched finals rescheduling for the Fall 2024 semester is December 6th and requests received after this date will not be considered. Extenuating circumstances requests will be considered through the end of the semester.
