Examinations
Unless a college has decided otherwise, a final examination will be given in each class. Students (except those auditing classes) are required to write the final examination in order to obtain credit for a class.
Final examinations are
scheduled by Examinations, Academic Services and Financial Assistance. Final examinations may be scheduled at any time during an examination period; students should therefore avoid making prior travel, employment, or other commitments for this entire period. Students should regard registration as a commitment to accept final examination dates.
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.

Deferred Examinations
A student who is absent from a final examination through no fault of his or her own, for medical, compassionate, or other valid reasons, may apply to the college in which they are registered for a deferred examination. Students in Open Studies apply to Open Studies Advising, Student and Enrolment Services Division.
Such application must be made within three working days of the missed examination and be accompanied by supporting documentary evidence. Deferred examinations are written during the February mid-term break for Fall Term 1 classes, in mid-June for Winter Term 2 and Fall and Winter two-term classes, and early September for Spring and Summer classes. A college or Open 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 deferred examination.
Supplemental Examinations
A student who fails a final examination may be granted a supplemental examination under regulations established by each college. Students in Open Studies are not eligible for supplemental examinations. Supplemental examinations can be written during the February mid-term break for Fall Term 1 classes, in mid-June for Winter Term 2 and Fall and Winter two-term classes, and early September for Spring and Summer classes. Please note that some colleges require Fall Term 1 supplemental examinations to be written in June rather than February. The college may, under extenuating circumstances, grant a special supplemental examination to a student who submits satisfactory evidence of inability to be present at the supplemental examination.
Please consult your college for specific deadlines and procedures for application for supplemental examinations.
