Closing Date for Semester 1 Exam Accommodations: end of October

Closing Date for Semester 2 Exam Accommodations: mid-March

Students with temporary disabilities (e.g. broken arm) should email [email protected]  to apply for temporary exam accommodations.

In-class examinations

For in-class examinations, the responsibility lies with the student to inform their lecturer of their need for exam accommodations and the Disability Office of their exam dates and times should they require supports such as a laptop/Reader Pen, etc.  The Disability Office needs to be contacted by the student at least 2 weeks prior to the in-class assessment date.  

All hardware, e.g., Laptops/Reading Pens, will be supplied by the Disability Office. Most in-class exams are less than 60 minutes therefore, extra time does not apply.
