What do they do about finals?? Wasn't it just last year that we had some snow days during finals week?

This was the info that was handed down to us TA's


December 7, 2007

Any weather-related decisions are made day by day, typically late in the evening or early in the morning in consultation with President Boren based on current and future forecasts as well as road conditions. All information regarding University closing will be posted on the OU Homepage (www.ou.edu) and disseminated to all major Oklahoma City television stations. Additionally, the Provost will send out an e-mail to academic deans, chairs, and directors that should be relayed to all instructional faculty.

If the decision is made to close the University during a day of final exams, no instructor can require a student to take an exam on that day. An instructor who is safely able to get to campus can elect to provide students who are safely able to get to campus with an exam; however, neither instructor nor students are required to do so.

If the University officially closes on a final exam day, instructors whose finals were scheduled to be given that day will be asked to give students, especially those with non-refundable airplane tickets for winter break travel, the option of either:

1. taking the final exam at a designated place on Friday evening, December 14; Saturday, December 15; or on Sunday, December 16, after 1:00 pm,



or

2) taking the final after spring semester classes start at a time designated by the instructor.

Fortunately, on this year’s academic calendar, Fall Finals Week is earlier in December than is sometimes the case.

On the Norman Campus, The Senior Vice President & Provost is working with Class scheduling and will post by Wednesday, December 12 the time and location of any finals to be given under option 1 above.

As always, whenever there is poor weather and even if OU chooses to remain open; I ask everyone, instructors and students alike, to use common sense regarding safe driving.

Wow....I think it was back in 2003 or 2004 when a snow storm canceled finals. They just told us that they didnt have to be made up but we could take them if we needed the grade and were in town and could safely get to campus. I skipped out on Run-On Sentences 1114 ;)

The wife had her Monday final canceled and the one today is also canceled. Word is that the power may be out as long as 7-10 days. The schools have to have their grades in by Tuesday, so I don't know what they would do.
