Some instructors conclude their courses with a test that is the last in a succession of tests administered during the term. Such a test is meaningfully distinct in length to the standard two-and-one-half hour or three-and-one-half-hour examinations offered during the final examination period.

If a course meets during the reading period, this hour test may be administered during the reading period since, in such courses, regular class meetings are scheduled to extend through the reading period. A course that meets during reading period may also administer the end-of-term test during final examination period at the time specified in the final examination schedule.

If a course does not meet during the reading period, however, the end-of-term test may not be administered during the reading period; it may be administered only during the last week of classes or during the final examination period at the time specified in the final examination schedule.
