Dear Faculty,

The regular Fall 2015 exam period will end tomorrow, Saturday, December 19, 2015.  We have some deferred exams on Monday, December 21, 2015; January 4; and January 5, 2016.  Please note the following:

Delivery of final exams and papers:

*      You can expect hard copies of completed essay exams to be delivered within one working day of the exam date.  In addition, exams that were submitted electronically may be accessed online via the Faculty Exam/Paper Portal (http://apps.law.georgetown.edu/exams/faculty/).

*      Please note that the Office of the Registrar will be closed to the public on Tuesday, December 22 and Wednesday, December 23 in order to package, deliver/courier exams and final papers to you before the Law Center closes for the holiday break.

Deferred Exams:

*      Georgetown Law's Exam Deferral Policy allows us to assist students who have supervening circumstances such as illness or serious personal problems during exams.  In order to be fair to all and preserve student anonymity during the exam process, we ask you to refer students to us to determine if they qualify for deferred exams.

*      No Fall 2015 exam will be administered after Tuesday, January 5, 2016.

Fall 2015 Grades Deadlines:

*      Fall 2015 grades deadline is NOON on Friday, January 15, 2016.  Grades must be submitted by the deadline via MyAccess<https://myaccess.georgetown.edu/>.

*      The University is closed on Monday, January 18, 2016 in observance of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday.  The three-day grace period ends at 9:00 am on Tuesday, January 19, 2016.  The penalty to full-time faculty for grades submitted on January 19 after 9:00 am is $400.  An additional $100 per day will be imposed for each additional day the grades are late.

*      Barring any unforeseen circumstances, first-year grades will be released as a group (i.e. all sections of Con Law I) to first-year students starting on Wednesday, January 20, 2016.

*      Fall 2015 grades deadline for final papers with extension until February 1, 2016:  Monday, February 29, 2016 by 5:00 pm.

*      Attached are copies of the Online Grading Instructions for papers and exams, and a copy of the Recommended Curve and Historical Grade Distribution for Fall 2014-Spring 2015.  This information is also available on our Faculty Services website (https://www.law.georgetown.edu/campus-services/registrar/Faculty-Services.cfm).

As a reminder, please do NOT respond to any communications from students until you have submitted your exam grades.  Please refer any such communications to me ([email-masked]).

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Have a safe and wonderful holiday break!

Best,
Denise
