What to do if you miss an exam

If you have to miss an exam due to illness, you must notify the course coordinator before the exam takes place. You also have 5 school days from the day of the exam to provide appropriate medical documentation indicating that you were seen by your family physician or by University Health Services on or before exam day and found to be too ill on exam day to write your exam. Only then will you be eligible to write a deferred exam. If you do not write the regular exam or deferred exams, you will obtain a zero for that section of the course, as the weight of exams cannot be shifted. You should familiarize yourself with the University’s academic regulations.
