Pre-Finals Days, Reading Day, and Final Examinations

Policy number: 
06.031
Policy description: 

So that students can more adequately prepare for final examinations, the University of North Texas (UNT) sets aside days preceding final examinations during which no new material may be disseminated and extracurricular and organizational activities are suspended. The policy further stipulates that final examinations must be administered at the designated time of each long semester and each summer term unless authorized under this policy.
