Final exams in final exam week

The date of the final exam cannot be changed for any reason. There will not be any alternatives for any non-valid reason. For valid, documentable reasons, the departmental policy is that an incomplete is given (refer to the incomplete policy in this syllabus) and the student takes a makeup exam the following semester. This would mean any courses that have this course as a prerequisite could not be taken until the semester after the makeup exam has been completed and the grade change processed. This would effectively delay your college progress by an entire semester.
