Academic Calendar 2006
(New Academic Choices)

A special examination is any examination other than the regular or supplemental examinations, and may be offered only with permission of the Dean of the Faculty in which the student is registered in consultation with the instructor and Department Chair. Permission to write a Special Examination may be given on the basis of compassionate or medical grounds with appropriate supporting documents. Special examinations are normally written at the University or an Affiliated University College no later than one month after the end of the examination period involved. A handling fee will be charged for examinations to be written off campus. Fees, as approved by the Board of Governors are due and payable to the Registrar's Office within two weeks of the approval of the Special Examination. The student's Dean will ensure that candidates are aware of this requirement. (The fee for this examination is detailed in the STUDENT FINANCIAL SERVICES section.) When a grade of special (SPC) or Incomplete (INC) appears on a student's record, the notations will be removed and replaced by a substantive grade as soon as the grade is available.

Supplemental examination privileges are offered only in undergraduate courses offered by the faculties of Education, Engineering, Law, and Medicine & Dentistry (not BMSc). The privilege of one supplemental examination is also offered to students in the Preliminary Year program at Brescia University College. Eligibility for a supplemental examination will be made in accordance with policies established by the appropriate Faculty. (Also see the STUDENT FINANCIAL SERVICES section.)
