Final Exam week is May 8th-12th. By now your professor has shared
with you when you will have your college final exam. IF you have an
AP exam or other conflict with the date of your college exam, it is
YOUR responsibility to inform your professor of the conflict. Your
professor will determine if you can take your exam early or on an
alternate date. Communication with your professor is KEY!
