Final Exam Week “Dead Week” Policy

In an effort to support the academic mission of the College and ensure students are not overly burdened during finals week, certain restrictions are placed on the activities of recognized student organizations. Beginning two days prior to the start of finals through the end of the semester, student groups and organizations shall not organize/schedule social events such as dances, elections, concerts, or other activities which may conflict with academic studies.

Institutional events that are not sponsored or organized by student groups and organizations may be exempt from this policy. Study breaks, tutoring sessions, regular organization meetings and/or end-of-term, and members-only social gatherings are permitted. However, organization presidents and advisors should ensure meetings or academic-related activities do not conflict with the study time of members. In rare cases, exceptions to this policy may be made as determined by the Director of Greek Life and Student Activities.
