Summer 2007 Exams.
•Exam Schedule. The final exams
for the Summer term are listed in the Schedule of Classes
available
here. You will be notified of the classroom assignments for your exams prior
to the start of exam period.
•Exam Reschedule Requests.
The Student Handbook requires that you take your final exams at the times scheduled
unless you have an exam conflict (as defined below), or you have a "serious
illness or other extraordinary or compelling reason" beyond your control.
If you have an exam conflict or believe you have other reasons justifying the
rescheduling of an exam, please contact Mindi Mysliwiec (mmysliwiec@kentlaw.edu)
no later than
Friday, July 6, 2007. A student is deemed to have an "exam
conflict" if the student has two exams at the same time, or has two or more
exams within 24 hours.
•Exams on Computer Sign-Up.
Many professors allow students to take their exams on computer (either lab computers
or students' own laptops, or both). Registration for taking exams on computer
will take place from
Thursday, July 5 through Tuesday, July 10. To register
beginning July 5, log into your
Webmail
account, click on the Web for Students icon, and navigate to the appropriate form.

of students on the first day of Orientation (Monday, August 20); helping take
