Spring 2026 Final Exam Schedule
Spring 2026 Final Exam Week: May 11-15th
To find your standard university final examination time, locate your course’s scheduled start time and the day(s) of the week it meets in the tables below. KU also designates common final exam times, a night final exam schedule for classes beginning at 5:00 p.m. or later, and School of Education-specific exceptions all of which are listed below.
Standard University Final Examination Schedule
When reviewing the standard university final exam schedule, any class with a meeting pattern* that includes at least one Monday, Wednesday, or Friday must use the Monday/Wednesday/Friday final examination schedule. This applies regardless of how many days the class meets and includes patterns such as MTWRF, MW, WF, TW, or any other combination that includes M, W, or F.
Only classes that meet exclusively on Tuesday and/or Thursday (with no Monday, Wednesday, or Friday meetings*) follow the Tuesday/Thursday final examination schedule.
*Special Exams and Discussion Sections are not considered part of the meeting pattern when scheduling finals.
