The pattern for final exams is the following:

M and W classes usually will have finals on Monday, Dec. 13th
T and Th classes usually will have finals on Tuesday, Dec. 14th
Seminar classes, F classes and Mentoring Foundations will have their final on Wednesday, Dec. 15th.

A more detailed diagram is being prepared for your information.  Finals are required as that marks the 15th week of classes for the semester.  We MUST MEET during the assigned final exam time, even if it is to receive papers or the like.

Reminder:  Due to President's Assembly on August 25th this year, all seminar classes that meet on Wednesdays will commence on the first Wednesday in September.  That will be a significant change from years past.
