Critique and Evaluation Period (CEP) for spring 2017 will take place Monday, May 8; Tuesday, May 9; Wednesday, May 10; and Thursday, May 11. The purpose of CEP is to provide a single class meeting during which faculty and students have an extended period of uninterrupted time to conduct appropriate end-of-course activities. CEP is designed for classes that meet more than once a week during the semester. Classes (evening or day) that meet only once a week have sufficient time for final evaluation; therefore, they follow their regular schedules (exams to be scheduled during Finals Week).

The following regulations govern CEP:

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

B. Instructors will not schedule a final exam before CEP. Instructors may not change the date or time of their final class periods during CEP. In case of emergencies, instructors should confer with their appropriate dean and notify the vice president for academic affairs.

C. Finals are scheduled for one-hour-and-50-minute periods. Instructors are not to increase or decrease the scheduled finals time.

D. In case of an emergency that would close the school, CEPs scheduled for the time of the closing will be rescheduled, as appropriate.

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