Final Examination Relief Information
If your examination schedule contains one of the following conditions,
the University will ensure relief by making alternative scheduling arrangements:
- Writing two examinations in a row
- Writing in the last period on one day and the first period on the
next day
*Note: Students can elect to accept examination combinations that violate
the above conditions, but the student understands that petitions or appeals
based on a violation of the above conditions will not be granted.
If you have one of the above conditions and wish to request alternative
scheduling arrangements, please complete the electronic Student Examination Relief Form. This form must be submitted electronically by 4:00pm on Thursday, February 23, 2012.
If you have more than two final examinations on the same day, you will be contacted to discuss your options.
If you require other alternate examination arrangements (eg. illness
with a doctor certificate), please contact your individual instructor
as the Registrar's Office has no involvement with this type of alternate
examination arrangement.
