Notes About the Undergraduate Finals Grid
- If you are a professor and need to request a change in your final day/time or room, make your request through the Brooklyn College WebCentral Portal (Final Exam Change Request Queue), which closes on February 2. This must be approved by the chair, the Scheduling Office, and the registrar.
- (DAY) indicates that only DAY sections of the course meet at this time. For example, if you are taking an EVE course of one of the uniformed exams, it will still meet in accordance to the section of the course.
- Only NET courses coded O for online will get a room for the final exam. Fully online courses do not get an in-person final exam.
Tips on How to Determine Your Bell Code
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 things. For example:
- L at the end is a Lecture Component and is usually paired with a bell code that ends in B for Lab.
- H at the end will indicate that it is an honors course.
- Q at the end will indicate that it is a SEEK course.
- F at the end will indicate 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.
Some other things to know about bell codes is that, because there are only four positions, we sometimes need to take the numbers 11 and 12 and shorten them to E or T to make it fit.
- MTAL that meets on Mondays and Wednesdays at 12:50–2:05 p.m. follows a MW12.
- MTAL that meets on Mondays only at 12:50–3:30 p.m. will follow a M12.
