Department Chair Handbook 2021-2022
Department Chair Handbook 2021-2022
INTRODUCTION The Department Chair Handbook contains information related to some of the common tasks required of Department Chairs, including a general timeline for key events in the year, schedules for faculty reviews, hiring procedures, guidelines for departmental reviews, and a guide to reviewing student progress towards graduation. This handbook does not attempt to capture all details of the important leadership role played by Department Chairs but, rather, only serves as a resource to assist planning and departmental administration. Department Chairs work closely with their Division Chairs and the Dean's Office in advancing the College and maintaining its health. The counsel provided by fellow Department Chairs at the monthly gathering of chairs also is important to the well-being and governance of the College. This handbook does not codify the central rules and policies which govern the operation of the College. Such policies and rules are located in the Faculty Handbook and Wabash College Employment Guide. The Dean of the College's Office maintains this handbook as an aid to Department Chairs. Questions regarding the procedures found in this Handbook, or suggestions about its contents, may be directed to the Dean of the College's Office.

FINAL EXAMINATION SCHEDULE, 2021-22
Final examinations are given at the end of each semester. No deferred examinations are given except by written excuse from the Dean of Students. The faculty has agreed that no exams will be given and no papers will be due the Wednesday to Sunday of the week prior to finals. No papers will be due during finals week unless there is not a final exam in the course, in which case the paper will be due at the end of the regularly scheduled exam time for that course. Classes not included in the schedule below will be examined during the final exam week under special arrangements made by the instructor. Exams are held in the same classrooms they met in during the semester unless otherwise assigned by the Registrar.
