EXAMINATION INFORMATION

Examination Schedule A tentative Fall 2024 exam schedule is available at the time of registration and is rarely changed. This can be viewed on the law school website. Students are cautioned not to schedule any commitments during the examination period which may interfere with their exam schedule. A Snow Make-Up Day is scheduled in December, should examinations be postponed due to inclement weather. Examinations are scheduled Monday-Saturday. No exams are held on Sundays. Students who are unable to take exams on certain days for religious reasons, who have 3 proctored examinations within a 53 hour period, or who have extreme extenuating circumstances may submit an Examination Reschedule Request form to move an examination to the next Make-Up date. Students should never contact any faculty member regarding an exam reschedule as it will destroy anonymity in the exam process.
