FINAL EXAMS

Most 100 and 200 level Liberal Arts & Sciences courses have final examinations. Starting in 2013/2014, 300 and 400 level Liberal Studies courses will have the option of having final exams. These take place during the final examination period. The exam schedule generally is released in the first 3-5 weeks of classes starting.  The exam schedules are posted to our website under Students/Bulletin Board.


CONFLICT AND DEFERRED EXAMS

Students may request deferment of examinations on the basis of:

• Exam conflict (two exams at the same time or more than two exams on the same day)
• Religious obligations
• Medical
• Compassionate reasons

Please refer to the Examinations, Academic Accommodations for Religious Observances under Academic Policies and Religious Observance Dates.

Students who wish to request deferment of examinations should contact the Office of the Registrar at regservices@ocadu.ca.
