SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS
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 must be written at the University or an Affiliated University College no later than 30 days after the end of the examination period involved. To accomodate unusual circumstances, a date later than this may be arranged at the time permission is first given by the Dean of the Faculty. The Dean will consult with the instructor and Department Chair and, if a later date is arranged, will communicate this to Registrarial Services.
If a student fails to write a scheduled Special Examination, permission to write another Special
Examination will be granted only with the permission of the Dean in exceptional circumstances and
with appropriate supporting documents. In such a case, the date of this Special Examination normally
will be the scheduled date for the final exam the next time the course is offered.
A handling fee will be charged for examinations to be written at any location other than the
University or an Affiliated University College. Fees, as approved by the Board of
Governors, are due and payable to Registrarial Services within two weeks of the approval of the
Special Examination. The student's Dean will ensure that candidates are aware of this requirement.
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.
