Final exams

Formal final examinations are held during the examination period following the term in which the course is given (fall and winter terms only). The dates of the examination periods are listed in Important Dates聽as well as the Exam Schedules webpage. In some courses there is no final exam; academic standing in these courses is determined on the basis of assignments and evaluations completed throughout the term. While the majority of final examinations occur during the examination period, some final evaluations occur in-class. Refer to the course syllabus for methods of evaluation specific to a course.

It is assumed that upon entering the exam room or accessing your online exam, it is your intent to complete the exam. It is your personal responsibility to judge your own state of health before entering the exam room or accessing your online exam to assess whether you are able to write the exam. If you attend your exam or access your online exam, you are no longer eligible to defer it, except under some exceptional cases of unforeseeable medical emergencies. In most cases, once you have started a final exam, no accommodations for an alternate exam will be provided. Note that requests based on minor illnesses (e.g. nausea, headache, dizziness, etc.) will not be approved.

If you were unable to write an exam, you should review information on Illness for information on how to proceed.

If you are a student with a disability, you should be registered with the Student Accessibility and Achievement (SAA). By completing the appropriate聽form, recommended accommodations may be made.

Students are warned not to make travel arrangements to leave Montreal prior to reviewing the final exam schedule.

For complete information about the rules and regulations pertaining to final exams, please refer to the Exam Office website.
