UW-Madison Mid-term Evening Exam Policy
The following sections provides information regarding the Mid-Term Evening Exam Policy.
What is the UW-Madison mid-term evening exam policy?
Two evening examination periods have been established for daytime classes that require evening mid-term examinations.
- The first 90 minute period is from 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm to accommodate examinations of 90 minutes. Examinations can begin any time before or during this period as long as they end no later than 7:00 pm.
- The second examination period begins at 7:15 pm and will accommodate longer exams (longer than 90 minutes).
- Any exceptions to this general policy may be authorized by the Office of the Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.
- Instructors who schedule evening examinations should make every possible effort to accommodate students with unavoidable (documented) conflicts.
- Instructors are responsible for assuring that all students with conflicts between daytime courses with evening exams and evening courses are treated fairly and without penalty.
- If a scheduling conflict exists between the evening examination of a daytime course and a regularly scheduled evening course, then the evening course takes precedence over the examination.
"It is the instructor's responsibility to assure that all students with conflicts between daytime courses with evening exams and evening courses are treated fairly and without penalty. If a scheduling conflict exists between the evening exam of a daytime course and a regularly scheduled evening course, then the evening course takes precedence over the exam."
