Summer School Exam Schedule
I know it's a little early for this, but my aunt is getting married on June 5th, and I have to reply saying I will or wont be there.

Has anyone taken summer school before that can give me an approximate time for midterms and/or finals, so I can give her some kind of answer? Or when the exam schedule will be posted, so I can tell her when to expect an answer?

Thanks in advance.

Depending on which course you take, you could always write to the faculty asking who would be teaching the course and go to them in person asking when they thought exams might be. You could get a deferred exam should you wish - I think a wedding is acceptable criteria (I may be wrong).

Nope, exams are only deferred for things like death in the family or serious illness. Mac's really strict about those kinds of things.

But since exams are written in-class on either the last or second-to-last day of the class, and are moderated by the prof and TAs (if the class is enormous), you may be able to write on an alternate day (i.e. earlier) in their office or something if they give you permission.

June 5th is a Saturday...so I'd say you're fine.

you'll probably be fine as you'll only have 2 exams towards then end so chances are you won't have it on that day
