Final Exam Schedule Adjustment Request

The Dean of Students Office assists students who are requesting to adjust their final examination schedule on the basis of extenuating circumstances. Supporting documentation must be provided with the request. Students should not assume a request is approved until they receive written approval. The final examination schedule can be found here. 

Students should request the Dean of Students Office to adjust their final examination based on:

1. Medical circumstances (physical and psychological) verified by a healthcare professional
2. International student travel complications without alternatives
3. Family emergency, such as death of a close family member
4. Conflict with a religious holiday/service
5. Interview or training for a permanent job that cannot be rescheduled
6. Interview for graduate or professional school
7. Activities at which the student is formally representing William & Mary

Please note that family events such as weddings and graduations do not meet the requirements for rescheduling a final exam with the Dean of Students Office.
