Salt Lake Center Final Exams

Final exams for BYU Salt Lake Center classes are held as follows:

  • Regular Class Time: Final exams for BYU Salt Lake Center classes are generally held at the regular class time for each class during the final exam period.
  • Testing Center: In some cases, exams may be scheduled by the instructor in the BYU Salt Lake Testing Center.
  • Winter Semester Adjustments: During winter semester, final exams for Thursday classes will be moved to Saturdays. This avoids conflict with graduation exercises.
  • Fall Semester Adjustments: In the fall semester, final exams for Friday classes will be moved to avoid conflict with an exam preparation day.

If a conflict arises between the exam schedule of a Provo and a Salt Lake Center final exam, the student must speak with the instructor as soon as possible to make other arrangements at the Salt Lake Center.
