The FINAL EXAM is given in December, at the time announced by the Registrar in the Class Schedule booklet for the current term. No early exams may be given at all. If you are unable to attend the Final Exam at the established time, consult with the Professor (beforehand, if possible) as to your options (if any). "Having to fly to St. Tropez with your family for summer fun and games" is NOT an excuse which will win you favor. If you do not make a successful application for an "Incomplete", and you do not take the Final Exam as scheduled, no other grade can be entered but a "U".
