Critique and Evaluation Period for fall 2015 will take place on Monday, May 11; Tuesday, May 12; Wednesday, May 13; and Thursday, May 14. A Study Day will be held on Friday, May 8. CEP definition: The purpose of CEP is to provide a single class meeting during which faculty and students will have an extended period of uninterrupted time to conduct appropriate end-of-course activities. The CEP is designed for classes that meet more than once a week during the semester. Classes (evening or day) meeting only once a week have sufficient time for final evaluation; therefore, they will follow their regular schedule (exams to be scheduled during CEP).

The following regulations govern the Critique and Evaluation Period:

A. A Study Day will occur the weekday immediately prior to the start of CEP.  Evening classes meeting only one time per week will not have a study day.

B. All instructors are expected to meet their classes at the scheduled time during CEP and to choose an appropriate activity which reflects the academic goals of the course and the intent of CEP: for example, an exam, a review, critique of papers, course summation, individual presentations or demonstrations, etc.

C. Instructors will not schedule a final exam prior to CEP. Instructors may not change the date and time of their final class period during CEP. In case of emergencies, confer with appropriate dean and notify VPAA.

D. CEPs will be scheduled for one-hour-and-fifty-minute periods. Instructors are not to increase or decrease the scheduled CEP time.

E. In case of emergencies which would close the school, CEPs scheduled for the time of the closing will be rescheduled, as appropriate.

F. Faculty members must post office hours during which they will be available during CEP week to meet with students.
