Grace Periods
Policy * 2007-08 Seven calendar days preceding final exams in each semester December 6-13
April 25- May 2Two days following each vacation (but not after Thanksgiving.) January 14-15
March 17-18
* To ensure that students have adequate time free from extraordinary pressures to prepare for final examinations and that students may have vacations free from substantial additional assignments, the College provides grace periods during the year. During these grace periods, instructors normally do not require work of any scale beyond that necessary for normal daily participation in classes, seminars and laboratories. When instructors feel this grace-period restriction would be detrimental to a particular course, they may schedule more ambitious assignments during grace periods, but they must inform the class of these assignments at the beginning of the course in the syllabus. The grace periods are seven calendar days before the beginning of the final examination period in each semester and two days following each vacation except Thanksgiving.
