Your Exam Survival Guide

It’s that time again!

With the end of term right around the corner, here are some helpful resources and reminders to finish the semester -and 2016!-with success.

Fall 2016 exams run from December 10-16

Find exam details specific to your classes on the Schulich Course Offerings website.
If you miss a final exam due to unforeseen circumstances, you must contact the Director of Student and Enrolment Services, Keshia Gray within 24 hours of missing the exam.
If you are unable to write an exam due to illness, you must submit an Attending Physician’s Statement to Student & Enrolment Services (W262P).
For students taking classes out of faculty please follow the revised exam schedule as posted by the Registrar’s Office. If there are any conflicts, please visit Student & Enrolment Services.

Repeated or additional assignments and exams are not given in the Schulich School of Business to provide the student with a chance of improving the course grade.
Examination booklets/answer sheets become the property of the University and are retained for the full Fall or Winter term immediately following the term in question.
No examinations or tests (in-class or take-home) collectively worth more than 20% of the course grade are permitted during the final 14 calendar days of classes in any Schulich course. Excepted are courses that run on weekends, courses in compressed terms, and courses with 6.00 or more contact hours per week. An assignment is not considered a take-home examination if students have at least two weeks to complete it.
If cheating is identified, the matter will be documented by the invigilator or instructor and forwarded immediately to the Associate Dean, Academic for action.
