During each day of the final examination period stated on the Academic Calendar, two examination “slots” are created. The morning slot begins at 8:30 a.m., and the afternoon slot begins at 1:30 p.m. One of these slots will be assigned to first-year students, and the other will be assigned to upper-level students, although the assignment may vary from term to term. Students will receive further direction from the Office of the Registrar informing them whether they are to take their examinations for a particular semester in the morning slot or afternoon slot.
First-Year Examinations
All first-year exams will be scheduled by the University of Dayton School of Law Administration and must be taken on the assigned day and time during the final examination period each term.
Upper-Level Examinations
Beyond the first year, the University of Dayton School of Law uses a system of self-scheduled final examinations. What this means is that, within the limitations of the examination period, upper-level students determine the sequence of their final examinations and on which days they take their examinations. Upper-level students do not sign up for examination slots in advance.
