Spring 2012 Tentative Exam Schedule  – updated 01/19/2012

Rescheduling Law Exams

To reschedule an exam, please use the Exam Rescheduling Form.

1.  The rules governing deviations from the examination schedule are as follows:

• Prior to Registration, a student wishing to register for courses having conflicting examination times (as delineated below) may seek permission to take the courses by submitting an Exam Rescheduling Form to the director of student services for approval.  If approval is obtained, this form should accompany the registration form.  A request for a rescheduled exam must be submitted to the director of student services prior to the conclusion of the Add/Drop Period.  The director of student services will then adjust that student's final examination schedule accordingly.

2.  The only situations that constitute an examination conflict are the following:

• Two courses with examinations on the same day and time;
• A minimum of three courses with exams in a two day period.  (This situation will not be eligible for rescheduling if it occurs because the student took a course out-of-division.)

3.  The following are examples of situations that will not constitute an exam conflict and therefore will not be eligible for rescheduling.

• Two exams on the same day, but not the same time;
• Two exams in a two-day period, three exams in a three-day period;
• An exam for a course taken out-of-division which results in three exams in a two-day period taken.

Exam conflicts created by student action during the Add/Drop period will not create a right to have that conflict resolved unless the exams are given at the same time.

Special Accommodations

All student inquiries and requests for special accommodations should be sent to Jacqui Pilgrim, director of student services, via e-mail at jpilgrim@nesl.edu.  

Deadlines to submit Special Accommodation requests to Director of Student Services:

For Fall Exams: At the end of the Add-Drop period in August

For Spring Exams: At the end of the Add-Drop period in January
