Aegrotat standing shall be defined as the granting of credit for a course requiring a final examination. 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 (a) has been unable to take the required final examination for medical or compassionate reasons and (b) is not able to take a make-up examination within 6 months of the original date of that exam.

A request for Aegrotat standing must be submitted to the Dean of the Faculty/School of registration, normally before the end of the regular examination period. The application must be accompanied by documents supporting the reason for 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. In any case, Aegrotat Standing will not be granted if the student has completed less than 60% of the course requirements. The Dean shall inform both the student and the Registrar, in writing of the decision as soon as possible.

If Aegrotat standing is awarded, the student's record shall show the mark/grade assigned only.
