Notre Dame adjusts final exam schedule with College Football Playoff in mind

In the event Notre Dame hosts a College Football Playoff game, students will be able to attend without missing final exams.

According to an email sent to the student body by the office of the registrar and obtained by Blue & Gold, Notre Dame is ending finals week for the Fall 2024 semester a day early. Exams, which would usually end Friday, Dec. 20, will now end Thursday, Dec. 19. The first round of the College Football Playoff is scheduled for Dec. 20-21.

Friday, Dec. 20 will only be used for make-up exams, which will be held from 8-10 a.m. ET.

Notre Dame’s academic calendar has been updated to reflect the change, which the email makes very clear is a direct response to the possibility of hosting a playoff game. h/t Amy Minnick for the link!
