International Education Week is a joint initiative by the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn and exchange experiences in the United States.

International Education Month is a collaborative effort of faculty, staff and students across the university.
This year our theme is

The Fall 2019 Final Exam Period runs from Monday, December 9, to Friday, December 20. Graduate exams are generally held on the evening that the class normally meets and in the same room. Classrooms for daytime graduate exams may have been adjusted based on space needs. Undergraduate exams are scheduled in different rooms based on availability. Please verify your locations if you plan to hold your final during the final exam period.
If you do not intend to hold a final exam, please let us know that you will not be utilizing the room.
The Office of the Registrar makes every effort to avoid scheduling conflicts but cannot guarantee against them.
Students with conflicting exams should discuss alternative arrangements directly with their instructor.
While we are generally unable to change the exam schedule once it is completed due to the possibility of creating conflicts, we strongly advise that you check the
Office of the Registrar web
pages
for any updates that may occur.
