Take Home Examinations

Take-home final examinations are due no later than 9:00 p.m. on the last night for regularly scheduled examinations, or at any earlier time as specified by the instructor.

It is the sole responsibility of the student to ensure that a take-home examination is submitted on time.  If an extension of time is necessary, the student must complete a rescheduled examination form prior to the due date and the Director, or his delegate, must approve the extension prior to that date.  If the examination is not by the due date and the student does not have an approved extension, the student will receive a grade of “F” in the course. 

Procedures for submitting examinations:

  1. Generally,   take-home exams need not be anonymous, but anonymity may be elected by the instructor for all or some exams and quizzes in a course.
     
  2. All take-home exams must be submitted as an e-mail attachment to the instructor with a copy (cc: line) to gtpexams@law.villanova.edu.  The subject line of the e-mail should identify the name of the course.  The exam must be written in Microsoft Word ONLY.
     
  3. If an instructor elects an anonymous take-home exam, the student must e-mail the exam to GTPexams@law.villanova.edu, again identifying the course name in the subject line, and the GTP Office will sanitize the e-mail and forward the exam to the instructor.
