And that would be... how many hours?

To be honest, I'm not too sure. I'm fairly certain however, that you can have an exam at the beginning of the day (let's say around 9 AM), and have one at the end (around 7:30 pm) because the of the gap in between.

The exams all have specific time slots - morning (9 am), midday (12:30), evening (4 pm) and night (7:30 pm). This gives them time to set up for the next one, and minimizes disruptions throughout the day. So, really, there is no "certain hours between them" rule, because that is already built into the system. What matters is how many exams you have in a 24 hour period.

As long as you don't have three of those slots in a single 24 hr period (including night, morning, midday), its not a conflict. The only exception is in Dec, if one slot is three hours or more then you just need a second exam to call conflict.

So, something like 9am Mon, 12:30 pm Mon; 12:30 pm Tues; 4:00 Tues and 4:00 Wed is legal, because there is no 24 hr stretch (24 hrs begins when the first exam of the stretch begins) with 3 exams. IF 9 am Monday or 12:30 pm Tues was a 4 hour exam, there would be a conflict in December, but not in April.

So what if its...

Monday Dec. 13 @ 7:30pm
Tuesday Dec. 14 @ 9:00am
Tuesday Dec. 14 @ 7:30pm


Would this count as "conflict"??

I think it should be. The 24 hr period is Mon 7:30 to Tues 7:30. You have three exams within that time. You might have a double conflict, actually, if the 9 am exam is 3 hours.

Did you actually get that? What courses?

I also think it should be...but I seem to remember hearing that it doesn't count, because technically the exams run from 7:30pm one day to 10:30pm the next day, which is more than 24hrs. Just ask the registrar--the worst they can do is say no.

Oh that would be nasty.

You could probably tell depending on the courses - if they were like Chem 1A03, Bio 1A03 and Psych 1X03 (basically three courses that tend to be taken together), then you'd know its by end time, not start time.

what time are the exams, usually?
cause on the same day
i have a philo exam at 4:00
and then at french exam at 7:30
would that be considered a conflict?

No. We've gone over what a conflict is multiple times now. The LENGTH of the exam depends on the course.

Yes I actually did get that, that's why I was asking lol... I don't even know how long the exams are supposed to be... Who would I contact to find out if its a conflict or not?

Why on earth would that be? You have 10.5 hours between exams, and you only have 2 you mentioned.

Awesome, so the last day of school is the 6th, I have a project due on the 7th and then I have my three hardest ****ing exams in a row right after that. And then to top if off, I get the easiest one on the very last day.

I'm gonna complain about this. The registrar needs less dumbasses and a better scheduling algorithm...

Is it weird that I thought dirty thoughts when I read the title of this topic?
