Submit Request

Attention Students

Alternate Exam requests for the fall term are now closed, and will re-open on January 6, 2014.

Alternate exam and test requests must be submitted at least three (3) weeks in advance of the scheduled test dates.

For the Fall/Winter 2013 academic session, the deadlines for submission of requests for alternate exams and tests are:

  • For Fall term finals and full-year mid-term exams: Friday, November 22, 2013
  • For winter term and full-year final exams: Friday, March 14, 2013

Late requests to book tests or exams will not be accepted by the Alternate Exams online request system. In these situations, students should contact their disability counsellor to discuss the options available to them since they will not be able to write their test/exam through Alternate Exams.

It is your responsibility to check your e-mail regularly for notifications regarding changes or updates concerning Alternate Exam and Test Scheduling services.

 

Please follow these steps to submit your request for alternate exams or tests:

If this is the first time you are accessing the online request form for the Fall/Winter 2013 Term, once you have selected the course for which you are submitting requests, you are required to read and accept the Alternate Exam Agreement before you can complete your request.
