SPRING 2024 EXAM SCHEDULE

(as of March 12, 2024)

VIEW SCHEDULE


Make-Up Exams: There are no designated make-up days this semester. Students with conflicts or other scheduling needs will take the exam during the next available exam slot. Only exams identified as a conflict in accordance with the conflict policy found in the Student Handbook will be rescheduled. The Registrar’s Office will be in touch with those students at the beginning of April.

Please Note: schedule and room assignments are subject to change.

Reminders

Religious Holidays: If exam schedules conflict with a religious holiday, students should email lawengagement@emory.edu to request adjustment to their exam schedules.

Illness: If you are ill enough on the day of an exam that you cannot take an exam or you need medical assistance, get medical attention and email lawengagement@emory.edu before the exam(s) at issue as soon as you are able. You will be required to provide documentation from a treatment provider in order to have your exam rescheduled to a make-up day. See more information on reporting illness below.

EBB Training Guide: As a reminder, be sure to review the training guide and information below well before the start of exams. By taking the time to do that now, you will be better prepared to take your exams and can avoid possible issues during an exam.

*Remember to SAVE your work on a regular basis if using Word to complete your essay answer(s) in any of the Take Home exam options, as your hard drive is the only place your work will be accessible prior to submitting your answers through EBB.


Reporting an Illness/Emergency

If you are ill enough on the day of an exam that you cannot take an exam or you need medical assistance, get medical attention and email lawengagement@emory.edu before the exam(s) at issue as soon as you are able. You will be required to provide documentation from a treatment provider in order to have your exam rescheduled to a make-up day. If you are otherwise unable to complete your exams within the scheduled time frame for a health-related reason, email lawengagement@emory.edu and Dean Brokaw will review your situation. Once you have started an exam, you must complete it or turn in the work you have done as your final submission.

Exams that are self-scheduled do not create conflicts; therefore, only exams that have been rescheduled by Dean Brokaw due to illness, or identified as a same-day conflict by the registrar's office, will be scheduled for the make-up days during the exam period.


IT/Technical Assistance

For EXAM related technical (EBB) questions/issues send an email to law-exams@emory.edu. Do not send exam emails to the regular law registrar email or to individuals in the registrar's office.

Exam support will be available Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m.

Remember to SAVE your work on a regular basis if using Word to complete your essay answer(s) in any of the Take Home exam options, as your hard drive is the only place your work will be accessible prior to submitting your answers through EBB.


Professional Conduct Code Issues

Confidentiality of Exam Contents: Discussing the content of any exam with someone who has not yet taken that exam (even seemingly informal comments such as that was harder than I ever imagined or no surprises there) may constitute the provision of unauthorized assistance and violate the Professional Conduct Code. This includes posts on Facebook or other social media.

For exams that use the take home format, exams will be unblocked: However, your individual professors may choose to limit what you can use for the exam, and you will be bound by the Professional Conduct Code to follow their specific instructions and restrictions. 

Ending Exams On Time: Failure to submit each exam by the established time limit constitutes a violation of the Professional Conduct Code, if you have not been excused by Dean Brokaw. Professors have the right to award a failing grade in such an instance, apart from any Conduct Code process.


Questions

For EXAM related technical (EBB) questions/issues send an email to law-exams@emory.edu. Do not send exam emails to the regular law registrar email or to individuals in the office.
