G.3.5 Scheduling of Deferred Examinations
Normally, deferred assessments will be scheduled prior to the end of the course change period of the term immediately following the final exam period*.
Deferred final examinations are scheduled by the Office of the Registrar and a timetable will be made available at: ucalgary.ca/registrar one week prior to the deferred examination period. Students writing a deferred final examination must consult this timetable to determine the exact date and time of their deferred examination.
A deferred final examination will be different in content and/or format from the original final examination.
Students in their graduating year who defer Winter Term final examinations may not graduate until the Fall convocation ceremony.
Deferred final examinations may not be deferred a second time nor will students be eligible for a late withdrawal. Requests for late withdrawals will not be considered when a student does not attend a deferred examination without sufficient cause.
*Does not apply to the Cumming School of Medicine (MD program only) and the Faculties of Law and Veterinary Medicine.
Limitations and Misuse of Deferred Examination Regulations
Students who request multiple deferred examinations will be required to meet with a faculty advisor, the Student Success Centre or Student Wellness Services after the fourth deferred exam request; this is cumulative and applies to all studies pursued at the University of Calgary. Students may be required to reduce their course load in future terms or participate in exam preparation workshops.
Misuse of the deferred examination regulation, falsifying documentation or false statements made on any of the documentation provided for a deferred examination will be considered academic misconduct and is subject to the academic misconduct regulations outlined in section K. Integrity and Conduct of this calendar.
Final Examination Papers
Final examination results are to be retained by the faculty for a period of one year from the last day of the term in which the final exam was held. During this period, students may be permitted to view their graded final examination as determined by the faculty.
Final Grades
Official final grades are available in the Student Centre. For information on official transcripts, see F.5 Transcripts.
