Fall 2026 Final Exam

The Fall 2026 final exam period begins on December 9 and ends on December 16.

Students who have more than one examination scheduled at the same time or more than two examinations scheduled on the same day should consult their instructors to request rescheduling.

Make-Up Periods for Final Exams

If the university is unexpectedly closed on an exam day, make-up times will be announced as soon as they are determined and will be posted on the Korea campus academic calendar pages (https://masonkorea.gmu.edu/academic-calendars). Make-up exam times must also be scheduled through the Office of Academic Affairs by emailing mkaa@gmu.edu.

The last scheduled day of the final exam period is the scheduled make-up day. The Friday, Saturday, and Sunday during the final exam period are also potential make-up days. Students and faculty must be available for the make-up day(s). 

If possible, make-up exams will be given at the same time and in the same room as the missed exams. Processing of grades and student transcripts may be delayed by use of makeup dates late in the exam period.
