Written examinations
If a final written examination is required, it can only be held during regular academic terms, i.e., not between terms. Examinations must be scheduled and completed by the Friday of finals week for graduation in that term. For Summer term graduation, the deadline applies to the regular eight-week Summer Session dates, i.e., exams must be scheduled and completed by the Friday of the eighth week of Summer term.
The student must pass all sections of the examination. If the student fails the entire examination or any section thereof, the department may dismiss the student from the degree program, or permit the student to repeat the entire examination, or the section that was failed, after a minimum of three months. The result of the second examination is final.
