Student Exam and Grading Guide 2023 2024

EXAMINATION INFORMATION schedule a meeting – or a series of meetings – with an ASP Professor to address exam preparation. During these meetings, you will be shown how to: organize a legal argument; incorporate the law into your answer; utilize the facts to support your conclusions; and effectively address reasonable alternative points of view. Students who have any questions about how ASP can help, please contact Professor Ramy, at hramy@suffolk.edu.

Law Library

The Moakley Law Library occupies floors six and seven of Sargent Hall. The Law Library provides comfortable research and study areas, study rooms, and study carrels. The library has many resources that can help prepare you for examinations. For more information please click HERE.

Reading Period

There will be a reading period of approximately 2 days, between the end of classes and the start of the final examination period.

Examination Schedule

A tentative Fall 2023 exam schedule is available at the time of registration and is rarely changed. This can be viewed on this 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. Students who reschedule an examination will be eligible to use Examplify for the rescheduled exam provided the missed examination is rescheduled to the make-up date immediately following the original examination date. Examination room assignments are published at least two weeks prior to the start of the exam period and are posted on the LAW-STU-CLASS-LAW SCHOOL Exam Schedule with Rooms. Students with approved examination accommodations as provided by the Dean of Students Office will receive written notification from the Office of Academic Services of the exam accommodations, times, and locations for each scheduled examination.

Withdrawing from Classes during the Examination Period

No student may withdraw from a class after the examination period begins or while consideration of his or her academic standing is pending.

Proctored Examinations - Know the Rules

The rules regarding taking exams are very strict. You should familiarize yourself with all of the Examination Rules and Regulations to ensure compliance.
