Fall 2026 Semester

To find your final exam time(s) on the schedule, first, locate the standard meeting time for your course. The date is displayed at the top of the column and the time for the final exam appears in the far left of the row.

For example:

Sam has Writing 102 on T/Th from 11:00 a.m.-12:15 p.m. Therefore, Sam’s WRIT 102 final is on Thursday, December 10, from 8:30-11 a.m.
Jamie has Leadership 101 on MWF from 2:00-2:50. Therefore, Jamie’s final for LEAD 101 is on Wednesday, December 9, from 3-5:30 p.m.

If your course time does not appear in any of the time slots (e.g., MWF 3:00-3:50 or MW 4:00-5:15) and is not COMM 203, your final will be in the “ALL OTHER TIMES” slot on Friday, December 11 from 12:00-2:30 p.m.

Please Note

Any student having three examinations scheduled on one day may request to reschedule one of the examinations by emailing the Assistant Provost Dr. John Tynan (tynanj@marietta.edu) no later than 4 p.m. on Friday, December 4, 2026. The Office of Academic Affairs (OAA) will confirm the student’s exam schedule and will coordinate with the course instructors and student to identify which exam will be rescheduled.

The OAA will only consider other change requests that are necessary due to extraordinary circumstances such as illness or family emergency and that are submitted in a timely manner. Please note the final examination schedule before making any travel plans because no changes will be authorized on that basis.

Faculty Note

No final examinations are to be given during the final week of classes. Examinations will be held in the room in which classes meet regularly and at the times scheduled above, unless instructors make other arrangements with the Office of Academic Affairs.

Final grades are submitted in Self-Service and are due by 9:00 a.m. Tuesday, December 15, 2025.
