Final exam week attendance expectations for students

The final exam period for this semester runs from Monday, April 29, through Friday, May 3. As a reminder, students are expected to remain on campus through the scheduled exam times for their classes, articulated at the start of the term in the university’s spring 2024 final exam schedule.

As outlined in UD’s final exam policy, all courses are expected to have a "culminating learning experience, normally a final examination," and "no final examination may be scheduled at a time other than the time prescribed by the Registrar during final examination week" except where formally approved accommodations require otherwise. Questions about this policy can be directed to the Office of the Provost.
