Procedure for requesting alternate final assessment/exam day/time/location for Department Support Staff:

Department support staff submits schedule change request form to academic_scheduling@csumb.edu listing the class section information. Action item in the first column is “alternate final assessment/exam request”. Either list specific day/time/location request that you have found in 25Live or request alternate options from us in the same room that the class is regularly scheduled in.

(Note for Department Staff:  If you get contacted a second time by the Instructor for different alternate rescheduling please schedule a 15 minute zoom call with our Office to resolve this matter in a more efficient manner, this will also require Dean’s approval).
