Creating and publishing the final exam schedule in EMS
1.) Set the Final Exam schedule
NOTES:
Use “Import a Term” so you don’t have to manually enter every listed meeting pattern individually.
Export the CLSS data values for Final Exam requirements, so you can see which classes don’t need a classroom for their final.
Course numbers that never need a final exam room are listed below.
(Detail from EMS instructions linked above: Go to “Specify Final Exam Settings for a Specific Course” > clear the Final Exam Required option.)ENGL 1010 / ENGL 1011
TIDE and TIDR (all course numbers)
2.) Publish the Final Exam session
NOTES:
Be sure to check the box labeled “ignore room capacity”, which is mentioned in step 3 of the “Publish the Final Exam Session” in the link above.

The final exam schedule for TERM1 must be “published” in EMS before TERM1’s classes go live for online registration??.
Always house departmental-wide exams first
What DOESN’T need a room for final exams:
Grad courses
Courses at satellite campuses (BX, EL, downtown)
Courses with no meeting pattern (ex: independent studies, honors theses, research, practicums, most internships, studios, service learning, etc.)
