Final Exam Rescheduling (Non-Bunched Finals):

Extenuating Circumstances

Students facing extenuating circumstances that conflict with their scheduled final exams are encouraged to contact the Dean of Students Office to speak with a staff member as soon as possible. Those who can demonstrate unavoidable circumstances may be permitted to reschedule one or more of their final exams. Please note that supporting documentation is required, and requests cannot be fully reviewed until this documentation is provided.

Illness

If an illness prevents a student from taking a final exam, they should visit Student Health & Wellness for illness verification. Student Health & Wellness will provide the necessary information to the Dean of Students Office, which will then let the instructor of the approval to reschedule the exam.

Students who are ill during final exam week and receive treatment from an off-campus medical provider must contact the Dean of Students Office to request permission to reschedule an exam. To make a request, email dos@uconn.edu, and a staff member will follow-up with you. You will need to provide supporting documentation that verifies the date(s) of your illness (without including medical details). This documentation can be emailed to dos@uconn.edu or faxed to 860-486-1972.

University Emergency Closings

In cases of University closings (emergency or severe weather conditions), finals may be rescheduled from the original date/time. The Office of the Registrar will determine the makeup finals schedule in these instances. Please see the Office of the Registrar website for the most up to date information available.

Regional Campuses

Students enrolled in regional campus courses must refer to the final exam schedule available in their Student Admin.  Students needing to reschedule an exam on a Regional campus should contact the Student Services staff at that campus to request approval.
