Faculty legislation controls assignments that may be required during the last week of regular classes, commonly known as Dead Week. Make sure your syllabus clearly specifies any project that will be due during Dead Week.

In the week preceding final examinations during fall, winter, and spring terms:

• No examination worth more than 20% of the final grade will be given, with the exception of make-up examinations.
• No final examinations will be given under any guise.
• No projects will be due unless they have been clearly specified on the class syllabus within the first two weeks of the term.
• Take-home examinations will be due no earlier than the day of the formally assigned final examination for the class in question.
