Examinations
It is the responsibility of the student to:
- double check both the preliminary and final postings of the examination timetables for their courses
- ensure that any examination conflicts are dealt with ahead of time
- not make any travel plans until after the last day of exams, particularly before the Final exam schedule is posted
- note that morning examinations are typically held at 9 a.m.; except Sundays, which are at 10 a.m.
Conflicts
- If you have more than two examinations within 23 hours, contact your Academic Advisor.
- If you have a direct conflict between two final exams, you will be notified via your UWO Email once the final schedule is posted. If you do not receive an email, you MUST go to Student Central (WSSB Room 1120) to make arrangements.
- For other direct conflicts (ie: a midterm and a final), submit a ticket through our Help Portal for assistance.
Accommodation Requests
- Holy Days: Verify the conflict with the Final Exam Schedule and then submit a ticket through our Help Portal to request accommodation.
- Sleeping in, misreading timetables, flight arrangements: These are not considered grounds for accommodation and professors are not required to set a Special Examination if you miss an exam due to such reasons. If you are less than 30 minutes late, you may be given permission to start the examination. Otherwise, send a ticket through our Help Portal as soon as possible. You are expected to schedule vacations and flights that don't conflict with the examination schedule.
Medical illness and compassionate issues
- Contact the Academic Advising office immediately by ticket to notify them of your illness. Please also follow through with your Professor(s) by email.
- For Medical Illnesses, visit a Physician and have them complete a medical form.
- For Compassionate issues, obtain appropriate documentation on letterhead (or as instructed by the Advising Office).
- Send all documentation to your Academic Advising office to discuss arranging an alternate examination. Accommodation of this nature will not be given without appropriate documentation.
