ANAHEIM, CALIF. — In the winter of 2013, Oregon State University experienced a major snowstorm at the beginning of finals week, closing campus for two days. A total of 700 finals had to be rescheduled; five days of finals had to be compressed into three, and 18,000 students were impacted directly by the rescheduling. The Registrar's Office was given 48 hours to reschedule all finals, a process that usually takes more than two weeks.
