3 midterms in one day
Hey. Does anyone know if there are any policies on getting a midterm rescheduled if you have multiple on the same day? I know you can do this for finals, but I wasn't sure if it's the same for midterms. I have 3 on February 12th (830, 930, and 2:30). If anyone has been on this boat before or knows about these situations and what you can do, please reply! Thanks!

Welcome to university life.

I've been through that and I'm sure I'm not the only one here.

You can try and appeal to one of your profs to write it at a later date, but that's all you can do. There are no rules for any of that stuff...only if you have three exams on the same day.

Your 830 and 930 ones look like they'll conflict.

You could possibly talk to the profs to arrange to move either the 8:30 or 9:30 because you might be pressed to even get from room to room between the end of the first exam and the start of the second exam.

The whole 3 midterms in a day thing has definitely happened in the past with some people I know as well.

I don't think any prof will rearrange a midterm just because you have two back to back. They will say "10 minutes is enough time to get to any building on campus"
Which generally is not true, but yeah.. You can try, but I don't think they'll do anything about it :(

Talk to your prof, it's worth a shot!

On the bright side, after you finish, 3 less midterms to worry about!
