6.48    Academic departments must retain all final examination papers on file for six months following the date of the examination. Students may review their own examination papers; however papers may not be removed from the department. For purposes of this regulation a final examination shall be defined as one written in the regular examination period.

6.49    The Registrar, after consultation with the instructor, may permit a student to write a deferred final examination as a result of illness or for compassionate reasons. In all cases of illness a doctor's certificate covering inability to write the examination must be submitted to the Registrar. Deferred examinations will be written at a time determined by the Registrar after consultation with the student and the instructor and will be given a letter grade. A deferred examination must normally be written by the end of the next supplemental examination period. If the examination is not written by that time, the instructor will be asked to submit a final grade based on course work completed prior to the final examination.

6.50 1   f illness or compassionate reasons prevent a student from submitting all course work by the prescribed deadlines, the Registrar and the instructor may agree to extend the deadlines for completion of the work for up to four weeks beyond the original deadlines. In all cases of illness, a doctor's certificate covering the inability to complete the work must be submitted to the Registrar.

6.51    A supplemental examination or paper is intended to provide the instructor with additional information to determine whether or not the student may receive a passing grade for the course.

Students who fail to pass a course may undertake supplementary work, provided:

1. such supplementary work is compatible with departmental policy with respect to the teaching, examining and marking methods adopted for the course;
2. such supplementary work could enable the student to pass the course;
3. the student has passed at least eighteen credits, in the regular session;
4. the instructor recommends that a supplemental be allowed.

6.52    Supplemental examinations must be written in the supplemental examination period immediately preceding the commencement of classes in the fall term following the unsuccessful examination.

6.53    Upon completion of such supplementary work the student will receive a grade of "Pass" or "Fail" for the course.

6.54    Examinations which are exceptions to, or are not covered by, Sections 6.49 or 6.50 or 6.51 to 6.53 are special examinations. Application must be made in writing to the Registrar. A fee is charged for each special examination. The fee will be refunded if the application is not approved. Special examinations can be written at any time by agreement of the student, the instructor, and the Registrar. Normally special examinations are only permitted in the last year of the student's programme. Special examinations will receive a grade of "Pass" or "Fail" unless the Registrar, in consultation with the instructor, determines that a letter grade would be more appropriate.
