Alternate final exam only for University approved reasons and scheduled no later than 10/30. ***See important note below***

Alternate Final Exam Monday, Dec. 14 7:45AM-9:45AM, Loc. TBA
*- a 1% participation bonus will be added to the final average of any student taking the pre-course or post course diagnostic. If you participate in both 2% will be added to your final average. If you only participate in one, 1% is added and if you do not participate (or don't give a serious** effort) no bonus will be added.
 
**-simple submission patterns(like AAA..., or BBB...) or rapidly clicking on any response throughout the diagnostic or survey are not considered serious efforts and no bonus will be given
 
*** The alternate final exam time is for students having three verified final exams on the scheduled date or for students having a verified final exam at the same time as our scheduled (common) final exam time. It is up to the student to check their MSU final exam schedule. No requests for an altenrtae exam in this class will be granted if they are made after the alternate final request deadline. Not taking the time to check a final exam schedule prior to the deadline is not a valid reason for taking the final at the alternate time. You can check your MSU approved final exam dates for ALL of your courses now at this website: http://www.reg.msu.edu/ROInfo/Calendar/FinalExamFS15.aspx
