]]> What is my course section number and where can I find it to search the Final Exam Grid? https://students.brooklyn.edu/knowledge-base/what-is-my-course-section-number-and-where-can-i-find-it-to-search-the-final-exam-grid/ Wed, 09 Aug 2023 17:08:18 +0000 https://students.brooklyn.edu/?post_type=ht_kb&p=4687 Your section number is what indicates the day and time your course meets. It is a combination of letters and numbers.

The first 1-2 characters are the days that the course meets.

  • M (Monday)
  • T (Tuesday)
  • W (Wednesday)
  • R (Thursday)
  • F (Friday)
  • S (Saturday)
  • U (Sunday)

The following two digit indicates the start time, and if the course is reserved for a special program, there will be a 5th letter.

You can view your section number on your course schedule in CUNYfirst as well by following the steps below:

  • Login to CUNYfirst.
  • Click on Student Center.
  • Click on the Course Planning and Enrollment tile.
  • Click on View My Class Schedule.
]]> I have a final exam time conflict. What should I do? https://students.brooklyn.edu/knowledge-base/i-have-a-final-exam-time-conflict-what-should-i-do/ Wed, 09 Aug 2023 17:02:22 +0000 https://students.brooklyn.edu/?post_type=ht_kb&p=4683 If you have a time conflict, you must contact your instructors to see if they are willing to make accommodations.

]]> I’m a graduate student but I do not see my final exam listed. https://students.brooklyn.edu/knowledge-base/im-a-graduate-student-but-i-do-not-see-my-final-exam-listed/ Wed, 09 Aug 2023 17:01:55 +0000 https://students.brooklyn.edu/?post_type=ht_kb&p=4679 Graduate student finals are given on the last day of the semester. Please consult with your instructor for more information. 

]]> My instructor is giving Uniform Finals. What does that mean and where is mine? https://students.brooklyn.edu/knowledge-base/my-instructor-is-giving-uniform-finals-what-does-that-mean-and-where-is-mine/ Wed, 09 Aug 2023 17:01:13 +0000 https://students.brooklyn.edu/?post_type=ht_kb&p=4675 Uniform exams, also known as departmental exams, occur when an academic department administers a single test to students in multiple classes at the same time.

If you are taking a uniform exam, your finals day and time will be listed under the uniform final day with the subject you are taking along with DAY or EVE, depending on when your course meets. 

]]> I am in online courses. Are my final exams in person and when are they? https://students.brooklyn.edu/knowledge-base/i-am-in-online-courses-are-my-final-exams-in-person-and-when-are-they/ Wed, 09 Aug 2023 17:00:34 +0000 https://students.brooklyn.edu/?post_type=ht_kb&p=4657 Online courses may have an in-person exam. If this is the case, your exam information will be listed in the comment area of your course and on your syllabus. Please consult with your instructor at the beginning of the semester in case of a conflict and a make-up exam is needed. 

]]> Tips on How to Determine Your Bell Code https://students.brooklyn.edu/knowledge-base/tips-on-how-to-determine-your-bell-code/ Wed, 09 Aug 2023 13:49:52 +0000 https://students.brooklyn.edu/?post_type=ht_kb&p=4617 There are only four positions in CUNYfirst for a bell code time slot. A bell code is the course code used to identify when your class meets. For example, if you are in ENGL. 1010 TR11, your course will be on Tuesdays (T) and Thursdays (R), 11 a.m.–12:15 p.m.

  • M (Monday)
  • T (Tuesday)
  • W (Wednesday)
  • R (Thursday)
  • F (Friday)
  • S (Saturday)
  • U (Sunday)

Letters at the end of a bell code will also state certain characteristics about the section. For example:

  • L is a lecture component and is usually paired with a bell code that ends in B for lab.
  • H indicates that it is an honors course.
  • Q indicates that it is a SEEK course.
  • F indicates that it is a First-Year Program course.

These letters will never show in the grid, so if you teach a MW2F, you would follow the MW2 bell code slot.

Because there are only four positions, we sometimes need to shorten the numbers 11 and 12 to E or T to make it fit.

  • MTAL that meets on Mondays and Wednesdays at 12:50–2:05 p.m. follows an MW12.
  • MTAL that meets on Mondays only at 12:50–3:30 p.m. will follow an M12. Bell codes can be tricky, so we are here to help! For assistance, e-mail us your course number, department, and bell code.
