If a final examination is postponed due to the decision to halt public transportation due to a typhoon, snow, labor strike, etc., then the final examination will be rescheduled for a "back-up
examination" date which will either be the Wednesday during the final examination period (during a class period that does not have previously scheduled examinations) or the Saturday following
the end of the final examination period. Students should not schedule trips or make plans to return home during this period due to the possibility that examinations may be rescheduled.
