For Instructors

Preparing Your Exam

Suggested Printing Guidelines

In an effort to be more sustainable, we suggest the following guidelines when preparing your exam for print:

- Ensure the exam is in black and white
-聽Keep your exam to a maximum of 25 pages, if possible (including any聽
聽 聽supplementary materials such as formula sheets or tables)
-聽Prepare you exam pages for lettersized paper (8.5鈥 X 11鈥), if possible
-聽Allow the exam to be printed doublesided

We ask that all instructors provide their Supplemental and/or Deferred exams (excluding Engineering courses) with their regular December final exams when they are submitted for printing.

This will not only relieve instructors of the burden to write these exams in the New Year but will help us organize and manage the March 2024 Supplemental/Deferred exam session in a timely manner.

Exam Cover Page

ALL exams submitted for printing must include a completed version of this Exam Cover Page so we have the necessary details to manage and invigilate your final exam.

Using the Exam Cover Page:

  • Delete any information that does not pertain to your exam (e.g. 鈥淪ample Cover Page鈥, 鈥渘umber of versions鈥, etc.)
  • Add the course number, section(s) and exam date and time
  • Add the instructor and associate examiner names, as appropriate
  • Add the correct version # on the cover for Multiple Choice exams
  • Under INSTRUCTIONS, answer the questions concerning the exam by checking the appropriate box - clicking on the blank box will insert an X automatically
  • Add any specific instructions for the exam in the space at the bottom of the page
  • Multiple choice exams must respect , including the number of versions required
  • Page numbers should appear on the bottom right hand corner of each page of the exam
    • Unless absolutely necessary, exams should be formatted to print double-sided on letter-sized paper

Exam Submission
