You may not have:

Conflict exams
If you are enrolled in two math classes that have common final exams, both exams will be scheduled for the same time. In this case, go to Vincent 115 to sign up to take one exam at 10:30am-1:30pm, and the second one at 2:00pm-5:00pm on Friday, December 14.
If you have a non-Math exam that conflicts with the exam time, first check with the instructor of that class to see if arrangements can be made. If no arrangements for the non-Math exam can be made, then contact your Math 1241 instructor about options.
