Exam Schedule

Starkville Campus

*Courses offered through Distance Education and Meridian campuses may have different exam schedules.

All examinations shall be held as specified on the examination schedule except for classes meeting fewer than two lectures per week and/or certain other classes which may be given at particular times by special permission from the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. Exceptions to the published examination schedule will be announced in the classes affected. All Laboratories and any lecture classes meeting fewer than two lecture hours per week will have their examinations at the last regular meeting of the class.

Evening classes beginning at or after 5 p.m. will have their examinations at the regular meeting time of the class during the examination period.

When an instructor is teaching multiple sections of the same course, permission may be given to a student registered for the course to take the examination in any one of the sections, provided that procedure does not result in too many examinations in one day.

November 30 is Reading Day. No mandatory activity, meeting, assignment, or event for a class should be scheduled on this day.

Multiple exams in one day. Students should not have to take more than two final examinations in a given day. To resolve the issue of
multiple final examinations, students will initiate the process. The rescheduling should be completed prior to the beginning of the final
examination period and the resulting examination must be administered during the final examination period. For more information on
the approved process for rescheduling exams, see Academic Policy 12.04. http://www.msstate.edu/dept/audit/1204.html
