If you’ve been granted a Deferred Standing for a missed final exam, you’ll normally be expected to apply to write the SD exam during the official deferred exam period unless otherwise indicated by your instructor, your home advising office or the Department offering the course. While some instructors may be able to offer you an earlier opportunity to take a deferred exam, they are under no obligation to do so.
Please immediately contact your instructor, your home advising office or the Department offering the course, to find out if an earlier exam sitting will be offered and how to register for it or if you should apply to write the exam through Enrolment Services.
Note that some departments set alternate exam dates that differ from the official deferred exam. Review the list of courses found below and follow up accordingly. Unless otherwise specified, these exceptions are not handlded by Enrolment Services.
