The pattern, if you'd rather not read a grid
- Monday/Wednesday/Friday classes that start on an even hour (8, 10, noon, 2, 4, 6) test Monday, Dec. 7. Those starting on an odd hour (7, 9, 11, 1, 3, 5, 7 p.m.) test Wednesday, Dec. 9.
- Tuesday/Thursday classes split the same way: even hours Tuesday, Dec. 8, odd hours Thursday, Dec. 10.
- Friday-only evening classes (5 p.m. or later) test Friday, Dec. 11.
- Saturday classes test Saturday, Dec. 12, in their own time block.
- A class that starts later than 50 minutes past the hour (7:55 a.m., say) uses the next row.
UVU's other rules
- Online and individualized classes take the final in Canvas during finals week, as the instructor assigns.
- Block classes: first-block finals are on the last day of class before second block starts; second-block finals are on the last day of class before finals week.
- Too many finals? UVU Policy 601 says a faculty member must offer an alternate time, when a student asks in writing, for a student with more than three finals in one day or two at the same time.
- Testing accommodations and proctored exams go through UVU's Student Assessment Services, where the grid may not apply.
- No prep day. UVU no longer observes a final exam preparation day in fall semester.
