Find the official policies that govern our student and academic community.
Midterms outside class time must be announced early and include alternative times for students with conflicts.
Classes that give midterm examinations outside of regular class hours must:
announce the date and time during the first week of the academic quarter, and
provide reasonable alternative times to those students who have another class or other University commitment at that time.
According to Honor Code interpretations and applications, different examinations may be given at these alternative times.

Stanford sets strict rules for final exams, including a reserved three-hour exam period for most courses and deadlines for completing exams or final assessments depending on course unit size and format.
Early final exams are granted only in exceptional circumstances at faculty discretion, and must be carefully managed to preserve fairness and uphold the Honor Code.
