Im going to be taking the comprehensive examinations as my capstone experience. How do I know when to take the exam?
The comprehensive examinations are offered in the fall and spring semesters only so if you are planning to graduate during a summer semester, you would take the examination the previous spring semester. Typically the exams are administered the second Friday in November during the fall semester and the Friday prior to URI’s scheduled spring break in the spring semester (check the official URI calendar). Depending on the number of students taking the exam in a particular semester, the examination may be administered in the Fernwood Building or another location around campus in a computer lab. Dr. Weiss coordinates the administration of the comprehensive examination (with a great deal of help from Sue Oppenheim) so all questions related to these exams should be directed to her (alw@uri.edu). A separate FAQ list about the comprehensive examination will be forwarded to you at the beginning of the semester you plan to take the examination.
