  Matrix Exams
The matrix is a grid of predetermined exam times for those classes that meet at regular block times during the semester, i.e.: MWF - for 1 hour per class meeting
TR - for 1.5 hours per class meeting
The matrix is published on the Registrar's main website under Important Dates and on this internal website under Deadlines. The School or College must notify the Scheduling department that a class will hold an exam via the Yes/No Indicator (CC50). Confirmation of the final exam schedule for all classes that are holding exams will be sent to the schools/colleges, departments, and the instructors. 
Classes that do not meet during the standard time slots OR exams that do not follow the matrix are called Non-Block or Non-Matrix exams. These exams are automatically scheduled during the exam period at the regular class time for 2 hours in the same room used during the school year. For example, a class meeting Mondays from 7:00am-10:00am during the school year will have its exam scheduled on the first Monday during the exam week from 7:00am-9:00am. NOTE: Classes that meet one day per week from 6:00-9:00pm are automatically scheduled in this fashion as is indicated by the matrix. The school's scheduling administrator may adjust the exam date and time by submitting a Day/Time Change form to the University Scheduling department in the Registrar's office. Requests made after the exam schedule is published require Dean's approval. Per policies approved by the University Council, final examinations are to be administered only during the times specified in the Registrar's Final Examination Schedule. Changing the time of a final examination leads, in many cases, to conflicts in individual students' examination schedules, to classroom conflicts, and to students experiencing more examinations in a single day than is reasonable. 
During the Fall Exam period a student may have three MATRIX exams scheduled on the same day because there are three matrix time blocks each day. These students may reschedule their 12:30-2:30 exam to another exam day during the 12:30-2:30 time period as coordinated between the instructor and the student. Proctors are available from 12:00 to 3:00 pm in SMG 212 during the entire FALL exam period. During either semester a student may have three exams scheduled on the same day or an exam conflict due to Non-Matrix exams. In this case, the student may have their Non-Matrix exam rescheduled to another day and time as coordinated between the instructor and the student. Instructors are encouraged to use the "Instructor Final Exam Matrix" tool on the Faculty Link to find an appropriate make-up time. 
Per policies approved by the University Council, final Examinations should not be administered prior to the final examination period, either during the "study period" or in one of the regular class meetings near the end of the semester. Giving an "early" final examination effectively shortens the semester, and denies the study time that otherwise would be available. Administrators should forward requests to schedule exams for graduate and part-time/evening students to the Provost's office for approval. 
Proctors are available from 12:00 (noon) to 3:00 pm in SMG 212 every day during the FALL final Exam period for use by a student with three matrix-exams scheduled during the same day. Since there are only two exams scheduled each day during the SPRING exam period, the Registrar's office does not provide proctors in the SPRING. Instructors are to provide the proctor with the following:
Students should be given the following instructions:
