Scholars-
Make sure that you know when your final exams are being held by checking them under the “Academics” portion of your MyUB portal. Don’t make travel plans or other arrangements until you know when and where you exams are being held. If you don’t have an exam listed on your MyUB page that does not mean that there is no exam for the course. Please see your instructor for further information regarding finals for those courses.
