In the event an instructor chooses not to schedule a final assessment, they must notify the Registrar to allow rescheduling of the classroom. The format of assessments during finals week remains at the discretion of the instructor, including whether to assign a final assessment or not. Other types of assessments (for example, but not only, portfolios, performances, projects, presentations, etc.) may be due in the last week of classes, but should be clearly delineated on the syllabus from the first week of classes.

Except for final examinations, instructors have final authority in permitting students to submit assignments late or make up examinations. However, if a student were absent and the instructor reduced the grade, the reduction would be due to lack of class participation, not the student’s absence. Where grades depend on classroom participation, absences may affect the student’s grade. The instructor describes the computation of the grades and the relation between grades and attendance at the beginning of the semester.
