Examinations
Unless a college has decided otherwise, a final examination will be given in each course. Students (except those auditing courses) are required to write the final examination in order to obtain credit for a course.
Final examinations are scheduled by Examinations, Student Record Services. Final examinations may be scheduled at any time during the examination period; students should therefore avoid making prior travel or other commitments for this period.
Students are required to bring suitable identification to the final examination. Suitable identification is a Student I.D. Card or an alternative agreed to by the student and instructor prior to the examination.
Complete examination regulations are published in the University Council Regulations on Examinations, Examinations & Grading section of the Calendar and on the web.
College Regulations on Examinations are available in the college offices.

Supplemental Examinations
A student who fails an examination may be granted a supplemental examination under regulations established by each college. At the time of publication, students in Unclassified Studies are not eligible for supplemental examinations. Formal request for permission to write a supplemental examination must be made to most colleges by the fourth Wednesday in May. Supplemental examinations will be written in August.
The faculty may, by special action, grant a special supplemental examination to a student who submits satisfactory evidence of inability to be present at the August examinations.

Deferred Examinations
A student who is absent from a final examination through no fault of his or her own, for medical or other valid reasons, may apply to the college in which they are registered. Students in Unclassified Studies apply to the Coordinator, Unclassified Studies Advising, Extension Division. Such application must be made within three days of the missed examination along with documentary evidence. Deferred examinations are written during the February mid-term break for Term 1 courses and in early June for Term 2 and full year courses. A college or the Coordinator of Unclassified Studies Advising may, under extenuating circumstances, grant a special deferred examination to a student who submits satisfactory evidence of inability to be present at the regular deferred examination sitting. In a case where a student is absent from a deferred examination, a grade of 'ABF' will be recorded.
