Final Exam Schedule 2016-17
The five undergraduate Claremont Colleges share a final exam schedule. If a course includes a final exam, it must be held at the corresponding time specified below, with the following exceptions:
- For graduating seniors in their final semester, instructors may omit the final examination or administer it during the last week of the semester, inclusive of Reading Days.
- Students who (a) have three exams in two days, or (b) have a conflict because of a common final that occurs at the same time as another final may make arrangements with an instructor to re-schedule one of their finals, without APC approval.
Any other exceptions require approval of the Academic Procedures Committee (APC).
To determine the exam time for a particular class, look up the class’s regular meeting time on the appropriate grid below. For example, if a class meets on Mondays and Wednesdays (MW) at 2:45 p.m. during the fall semester, the final exam will be held on Friday, Dec. 16th at 2:00 p.m.

Common Finals
- If you have a common final, your instructor will provide information about the day, time, and location for the final exam.
- All Pomona lower-division language courses numbered 001-051 which have multiple sections have a common final except for FREN 044 PO and SPAN 044 PO . Pomona lower-division language common finals are marked with an asterisk (*) on the grids above. Final exams for FREN 044 PO and SPAN 044 PO follow the regular final exam schedule.
- Faculty members teaching two or more sections of the same course may request a common final by contacting the Office of the Registrar. Priority goes to faculty members teaching three or more sections of the same course.
- Regularly scheduled final exams have priority over common final exams. Faculty using a common final option must accommodate students who have conflicts with regularly scheduled finals at another mutually agreeable time.
