Change of Final Exam

Grade changes or modifications to quizzes, tests, and midterm exams are exclusively handled by the course instructor. The Office of Student Success and Academic Services does not handle nor approve such appeals, as they pertain to classroom-based assessments. 

Final Exam Rescheduling 

University policy allows students who have three or more final exams scheduled on the same day to request to reschedule one exam with the approval of the course instructor. 

If a student needs to request a change to the date of their final exam, whether due to scheduling conflict or other extenuating circumstances, they must complete a Change of Final Exam Request form and submit it to their course instructor for review and signature at least two weeks prior to the scheduled exam date. Once signed, the completed form must be submitted to busreqst@gmu.edu for final approval. If the request is approved, it is the student's responsibility to follow the arrangements made with their course instructor for the rescheduled final exam. 

Appeals denied by the instructor should be escalated to the appropriate Area Chair for review and not to the Office of Student Success and Academic Services.
