The Academic Calendar indicates the dates of each term’s final examinations.
Morning exams start at 8:30 a.m. promptly and will end at 11:30 a.m.; afternoon
exams will start at 1:00 p.m. and end at 4:00 p.m. unless otherwise specified by
the professor. Students are expected to take examinations at the scheduled time.
Examinations in evening and Saturday courses will be administered at the normal
class time, one or two weeks after
the last regular class session.
Excuses from a final examination and requests to reschedule an exam within the
reading period or final examination period are to be presented to the instructor
prior to the scheduled time of the examination. In the case of extenuating
circumstances (long-term personal illness; personal or family crisis of a
traumatic nature) the instructor may grant permission to take the final exam up
until the date faculty must report grades (per the Academic Calendar), or the
student may petition for an Incomplete. Absence at the scheduled examination
period will result in a failing grade unless permission has been granted.
Each examination must be written in the scheduled classroom. Withdrawal to areas
other than the restroom or lounge is not permitted. Computers (notebooks,
laptops, desktops, or others) capable of storing or retrieving data files may
not be used in writing examinations. A cherished privilege of the examinations
at Westminster Seminary California is their conduct by the honor system. The
responsibility lies directly upon each individual to maintain this honor system
without blemish. The following pledge is to be written out and signed on each
examination paper:
“I pledge my honor that I have neither given nor received verbal or written
assistance during this examination beyond that permitted by the instructor in
charge.”
No student with unpaid financial obligations to the Seminary or library shall be
allowed to take final examinations unless the student has made satisfactory
arrangements prior to the start of final examinations. In such circumstances a
final examination will not be re-administered to any student at a later date, so
the student will receive a failing grade.
