Classes in the regular program are not offered ordinarily for less than ten students at the 100-200 level or for less than seven students at the 300-400 level. With the consent of the appropriate Dean, exceptions may be made for good reasons, such as the need to offer the course as part of a major program.
It is especially important that classes be held at the stated time immediately before and after vacation periods, and that examinations are administered at the time indicated on the schedule. The examination period is scheduled so that all courses are assigned an examination period. If for some reason the instructor wishes to provide some other activity than that of testing during this period, the instructor has that right. This period is, however, a regular part of the course and must be scheduled for some activity by the instructor. Changing one class or examination for the convenience of either students or faculty frequently complicates the holding of other classes or examinations at their stated times. Permission to move the time of a scheduled final examination must be obtained from the appropriate Dean.
