How do I present an idea for a policy change to my community college?

My community college structures their finals for all the students so there is no overlap. However, sometimes the instructors schedule their finals at times other than those structured by the college.

As an example, one of my instructors scheduled our final for Monday @ 3:00pm, instead of Tuesday @ 4:00pm. Another structured block for finals was from 2-4 on Monday, so it is possible that (if I had a slightly different schedule), I would have missed the first hour of the final in question, due to fact that the instructor didn't follow the school's set schedule.

I think this is wrong, and that all classes should abide by the college's set schedule (there's really no reason not to). How do I go about getting this changed at the administrative level?

    That's incredibly frustrating, and I can see why you would want to find a way to change the policy. At my university, professors can opt to not meet during the scheduled final time, but I've never had anyone reschedule during finals week (except for instrumental playing exams, which tend to either fall within the scheduled time or have many available times). I suggest going to the registrar's office and addressing the issue. If you can not do anything through the registrar, you should see the dean or president.
