Final Exam Policy

USF has established standards for the examination process in order to protect the academic integrity of courses and the interests of both the student and the instructor.

The last six days of the Fall and Spring semesters are set aside for final examinations. According to USF policy, any comprehensive final examination must be given during this designated period.

If a segment examination is given in lieu of a comprehensive examination, the segment examination must be given in the period designated during final examination week. The period of two hours shall be allotted for each final examination.

If a student has a direct conflict of scheduled examinations or has three or more examinations scheduled on the same day, the student may petition the appropriate instructor to reschedule one of the student’s examinations. The final examination schedule shall be published in the same manner and place as the Schedule of Classes.
