Exam Hardship and Exam Clash

Your final exam schedule will be available Mid-October for Winter Term 1 Exams, Mid-February for Winter Term 2 Exams, and around 3 weeks before the Summer Exams. You can find your 24S final exam schedule by logging into the Student Service Centre (SSC).

Exam Hardship

Final exam hardship occurs when you are scheduled to write three or more final exams within 24 hours (e.g., from 8:00 a.m. to 7:59 a.m. the following day).

What to do

• The student needs to notify the instructor of the second formal examination no later than one month before the exam date in the Winter Session or two weeks before the exam date in the Summer Session.

Exam Clash

Final exam clash occurs when two or more of your final exams are scheduled at the same time or overlap.

What to do

• The student needs to contact their instructor(s) as soon as possible and no later than one month before the exam date in the Winter Session or two weeks before the exam date in the Summer Session.

• If the Student cannot arrange the required changes, they need to go to the Department Head of their Course that has the exam clash.

• If neither the instructors nor the Department Head can accommodate a different exam time, you will need to complete the Daytime Exam Clash form available from Enrolment Services.

• Enrolment Services will arrange for you to write the examinations back-to-back on the original examination date, under supervision.

• If your exam clash occurs during an evening exam, weekend exam, or Summer Session, the instructor is responsible for resolving the clash.
