Missed Exams

If you miss a final examination for medical or compassionate reasons, you may be granted a deferred examination. Travel plans are not an acceptable reason to miss examinations. University 1 or your home faculty/school, as appropriate, can arrange a deferred examination for you. To make this arrangement, you must report to University 1 or your home faculty or school, normally, no later than seven working days after the end of the examination series in which the examination was scheduled, and provide written proof (such as a medical certificate) supporting your reason for the missed examination. The dates of your illness or affliction must correspond to the dates of the examination. If your request is approved, you will, in most cases, be offered the opportunity to write another examination within 30 working days from the end of the examination series from which the examination was deferred. More information about this may be found in the General Academic Regulations and Requirements of the Calendar.

If you miss a mid-term examination for personal or medical reasons, you must report to your instructor as soon as possible and provide written proof supporting your absence from the test or mid-term examination.
Missing an examination is serious. There are many ways your instructor can accommodate you and the options are up to the instructor and the department. Writing a make-up test at your convenience may not be one of these options.
