Important Information

NOTE YOUR EXAMINATION DATE/TIME AND LOCATION CAREFULLY
Students are responsible for reading the timetable carefully and appearing at the time and place specified. Students may be required to write day, evening or weekend examinations. Information concerning the examination timetable WILL NOT be provided by telephone. Please check this website prior to your examination to confirm the day/time and room of your exam.

BRING YOUR STUDENT CARD
All students are required to identify themselves at each examination by means of their University of Toronto student card. Students who do not have this card MUST arrange to obtain one well in advance of the day of their first examination. Students who have lost/damaged their student card should report to the UofT Scarborough Library TCard Office for a replacement. A replacement fee of $12 is charged. New students who still have not obtained their student card should visit the Registrar's Office room AA142 to obtain their card.

EXAMINATION CONFLICTS
The deadline to report conflicts or exam problems is midnight WEDNESDAY, November 23rd, 2011.
The University makes every effort to prevent the scheduling of overlapping final exams and three consecutive time slots, however, some conflicts are unavoidable.

Examination Timetable Conflicts:
Students scheduled to write two examinations at the same time should report their conflicts on the Registrar's Office eService. Arrangements will normally be made for students to write both examinations on the same day with a supervised break. Where the conflict involves a St. George/UTM campus course, arrangements will normally be made for both examinations to be written at UofT Scarborough. Requests for such arrangements must be made no later than midnight WEDNESDAY, November 23rd, 2011.

Three Consecutive Examinations:
Students scheduled to write three examinations in three consecutive time slots may request special arrangements:

Examples of three consecutive examinations:
9:00 am, 2:00 pm,7:00 pm or
2:00 pm, 7:00 pm, 9:00 am or
7:00 pm, 9:00 am, 2:00 pm

Requests for such arrangements must be made on the Registrar's Office eService no later than midnight WEDNESDAY, November 23rd, 2011. Except as defined above, no other situation is considered a conflict!

NOTE: This accommodation does not apply to students writing deferred examinations.

Your conflict resolution should be viewable on eService by the last day of classes, Thursday, December 1st, 2011. If you are having any difficulty using eService please contact the Registrar's Office.

 

If you are unable to write your examination(s):
