The administration at the Registrar's Office has yet to issue a formal response regarding the conflict between our final examinations and the Inauguration. I am currently gathering information on alternative scheduling policies to present a more compelling case for flexibility.

The momentum behind this request confirms that many of us feel this historic occasion deserves our full attention. It is heartening to see how clearly the community understands that participation in this event is an opportunity for unique civic engagement.

Common sense dictates we should be allowed to miss a test for something this historic. Hope the admin listens.
completely agree. nobody is gonna be focusing on their tests anyway with all the excitement going on.
This is history in the making. Students should be able to witness this without worrying about exams.
Harvard needs to get with the program and let us see this moment. Ridiculous to schedule finals then.
PLEASE let us have a makeup day. I have been waiting my whole life for this.
