Final Examinations

The last week of each semester (fall and spring) is used exclusively for final examinations or other concluding instructional activities in accordance with the official schedule and course syllabi. Final examinations should not be given before the final week, without permission of the Academic Dean.

A student who does not report for a scheduled final examination may be given a failing grade for the examination, based on the instructions found in the instructor’s syllabus. Such guidelines must provide for exceptions in the cases of documented emergencies. In such cases, the student must contact the faculty member within 24 hours of the scheduled exam, and the instructor may require that the make-up be taken within a one-week period. The final exam schedule (fall, spring, and summer) is posted on CCBC's website.

Change of Grade Procedure

If a student, with the prior approval of the faculty member, successfully completes course requirements after semester grades are officially reported, then:

The faculty member may submit the appropriate "Change-of-Grade" form directly to the Records and Registration office within the first 30 days of the next semester. The Academic Division Dean's signature is required. After 30 days, any change of grade must be submitted to the Academic Division Dean with appropriate justification. If the Academic Division Dean concurs, the change of grade request form with the justification will be forwarded to the Records and Registration office.
