Snow days during exams?  The University has issued these instructions:

According to the weather forecast, we may have an ice storm on Friday.
Should the university cancel classes due to inclement weather,
Friday's final exams will be rescheduled for Saturday.

Students who need to stay for an exam on Saturday must plan to be out of the residence halls by 6:00 p.m. on Saturday.

There are three exam periods on Friday:
Exam Period 1 is from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
Exam Period 2 is from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Exam Period 3 is from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. (This would be us)

If there is a delay until 11 a.m. then only exam period 1 needs to be rescheduled for Saturday. If there is a
delay until 12 or 1 p.m. then two exam periods would have to be rescheduled for Saturday.

 

The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.
