This is a mechanism used by dean’s offices (A&S and EN) for auto assigning exam codes. This table can be found at Application Functions>Auto Assign Exam Codes.

Prior to fall or spring courses being made available to students via the web, the dean’s offices run the auto assign exam code routine which does two things:

  • It maps final exam dates and times to sections based on when the sections normally meet during a semester. For example, all sections that meet on MWF from 11:00am-12:00pm will have the same final exam day and time assigned.
  • It maps final exam dates and times to groups of courses. A group final exam includes all sections of a course regardless of when the various sections meet during the semester. For example, both sections of Math 131 (Calculus I) take their final together at the same time, day 1 of the exam period from 3:30pm – 5:30pm.
  • This process uses the codes, dates and times listed in the Exam Schedule Update table (Application Functions>Exam Schedule Update) in order to map sections to finals days and times.
