Exam conflicts

As you review the FAS Final Exam Schedule, check to confirm whether you have exam conflicts and need to reschedule your exam. Follow the instructions based on the type of exam conflict you have. You may also need to take action to receive accommodations for disability and health reasons or for religious observance

Support throughout exams

Exam period can be busy and stressful, but remember that you always have resources and people who can help you – please don’t hesitate to reach out for support. 

  • Have an adviser, family member, faculty member, staff member, or tutor/proctor in mind whom you can call when things get toughest.
  • Harvard College students should reach out to a Resident Dean or First-Year Resident Dean. They can help you figure out your options and solve problems that arise as you near your exam date.  
  • Ask for help and communicate with faculty and advisers as soon as possible when concerns arise.

Preparing to take your exam

Review policies

  • GSAS students should review the GSAS Examination Requirements.
  • Harvard College students should:

    • Re-read the Honor CodeRemember that it is ok to be unsure about some of your exam answers and that it's ok to not to be able to answer every question.
    • Review the Examination RulesKnow what is permitted during your exam.

  • Re-read the syllabus for each of your courses: Know the deadlines for any final assignments and understand the collaboration policy for the course.
