According to the registrar ...

Final exams are scheduled by the start time and first day of week used by a class during an academic term. Final exams that are not common hour are held in the same classroom used for instruction during the term, unless the instructor is otherwise notified. For example, a class meeting only on Wednesdays but beginning at 10:10 a.m. would have their final exam on Monday, May 5th, from 8:00AM to 11:00AM (following the “10:10AM on Monday Wednesday, or Friday” timeslot).
