## When is my final, based on when my class meets?

A default time is not your confirmed assignment. Confirm your section’s time and room in the [official class lookup](https://utdirect.utexas.edu/apps/registrar/course_schedule/final_exam/nlogon/) or [My Final Exam Schedule](https://utdirect.utexas.edu/apps/reg/registration/student_exam_schedule/).

All times are Austin time (Central). [Registrar’s Fall 2026 timetable](https://registrar.utexas.edu/schedules/269/finals), checked November 4, 2026.

Each class gets a two-hour default final set by its meeting days and start time. Find your class in the table. If the department gives a uniform final instead, My Final Exam Schedule shows that time.

For an unusual meeting time, UT uses the closest standard time below. If a class sits exactly between two, it gets the later one: a TTH 1:15–2:45 class takes the TTH 2–3:30 p.m. final.

From the Registrar’s Fall 2026 finals page, checked November 4, 2026. My Final Exam Schedule shows your own section’s time.

## How do I see my own exam schedule?

Sign in to [My Final Exam Schedule](https://utdirect.utexas.edu/apps/reg/registration/student_exam_schedule/) with your UT EID. It lists the date and time of each of your finals. To check one class without signing in, search its unique number in the Registrar’s [final exam lookup](https://utdirect.utexas.edu/apps/registrar/course_schedule/final_exam/nlogon/).

Fall 2026 schedules went up September 21, and the Registrar says they can still change during finals week. Check again the week before. If a class is missing or your syllabus says something different, ask the instructor.

## What is a uniform final, and when are they?

A uniform final is one exam a department gives to several classes at once. It runs three hours, falls outside the default times, and has a set makeup time. My Final Exam Schedule shows both.

**What is a uniform final, and when are they?**

| Day | Three-hour slots |
| --- | --- |
| Thursday, Dec 10 | 8–11 a.m., noon–3 p.m., 3:30–6:30 p.m., 7–10 p.m. |
| Friday, Dec 11 | 3:30–6:30 p.m., 7–10 p.m. |
| Saturday, Dec 12 | 8–11 a.m., noon–3 p.m., 3:30–6:30 p.m., 7–10 p.m. |
| Monday, Dec 14 | 3:30–6:30 p.m., 7–10 p.m. |

## What do I do if two finals are at the same time?

It depends on the kind of exams. If a default final overlaps a uniform final, take the default one as scheduled and the uniform one at its makeup time. If two uniform finals overlap, take one of them at its makeup time.

If two default finals overlap, the instructor who chose a non-default time for their exam has to give you another time. Email both instructors with the course, unique number, and exam time. Don’t skip an exam to solve a clash.

## Can I move a final if I have three in one day?

Not under UT’s rule, which starts at **more than three** finals on one day. With four or more, ask the instructor of your latest two-hour exam that day to let you take it on another day.

Two finals on Thursday and two on Friday don’t count as four in one day. An instructor also can’t make you take a makeup on a day that would put you over three.

## When are Spring 2027 finals?

Spring 2027 finals are April 29–30 and May 1 and 3. The Registrar has already posted the spring exam times by class meeting time on its [Spring 2027 finals page](https://registrar.utexas.edu/schedules/272/finals). Personal spring exam schedules open February 8, 2027.

| Dec 10–12 and 14, 2026 | Fall 2026 finals |
| Apr 29–30 and May 1 and 3, 2027 | Spring 2027 finals |

## When can I leave for winter break?

After Monday, December 14, the last day of finals. The Registrar says not to plan travel before then, because exam times can still change during finals week. Instructors then have until December 14–17 to submit grades; [our final grades guide](https://utaustin.guide/ut/final-grades) shows the date for each exam day.

UT residence halls close December 15. Spring 2027 registration and its tuition dates are in [our registration guide](https://utaustin.guide/research/texas/ut-austin-registration), and the full year is on [our academic calendar](https://utaustin.guide/ut/academic-calendar).
