Attention Faculty: Day Classes That Meet Once Per Week

This will ensure there is not a room scheduling conflict. The final should be scheduled during the final exam period as designated on the final exam schedule.
Important: Please contact the Registrar's Office or your Department/Academic Center Administrative Assistant before November 9, 2026, to confirm a room.
