Aegrotat standing is the granting of credit for a course in which the required examination was not taken. The credit will be a mark/grade based on evaluation of achievement in the term work in the course. Aegrotat standing may be granted only for a student who has been unable to take the required final examination for medical or compassionate reasons.

A request for Aegrotat standing must be submitted to the Dean of the student's Faculty or School of registration, normally before the end of the regular examination period. An application must be accompanied by documents supporting the request. The Dean may grant Aegrotat standing on the recommendation of the instructor or department concerned. It shall be denied if, in the opinion of the Dean and the instructor or Department concerned, there is insufficient evidence on which to base a mark/grade. The Dean will inform both the student and the Registrar's Office in writing of the decision as soon as possible.

If Aegrotat standing is awarded, such standing will not be noted on the transcript or grade report and the mark will be recorded as for any other course. If such standing is not granted, the student may petition the Dean for the privilege of writing a special examination.
