2006-2007 Academic Year Cumulative Examination Schedule

All examinations will be held on the Saturdays listed below from 10:00 am to noon in the Chemistry Department conference room, Disque 307:

Please note the change in date for the January 2007 examination

As noted in the Chemistry Department Graduate Student Handbook, you must pass five exams before you fail 6 in order to remain in the chemistry graduate program. Full-time students should begin taking cumulative exams in the fall of their second year; part-time students should consult their Research Advisor or the Department Graduate Advisor for guidance on when to start. Note that you are allowed one unexcused absence; if a situation arises where you cannot attend a cumulative exam, please contact Dr. Anthony Addison, Cumulative Exam Coordinator, preferably before the date of the exam in order to request an excused absence. All excused absences are made at the discretion of the Graduate Curriculum Committee.

Special Notes:

Analytical Cumes: Each examination will contain at least one question concerning an Analytical Chemistry Feature Article (previously called A-Page article) from the previous 6 months. These A-page articles appear in the issue dated the 1^st of the month; as the cumulative exams are generally the 1^st Saturday of the month, the previous 6 months will not include the month of the exam (e.g., for the examination in October the previous 6 months will include articles from April through September). Articles considered fair game are those describing techniques and applications; you will not be examined on literature, conference or book reviews. If you have any questions concerning this please direct them to one of the analytical faculty (Drs. Bandy, Foley or Owens).
