Food and drinks (except water) are not permitted in the examination hall. We encourage you to leave these at home.
Handbags, purses, and book or laptop bags are not permitted in an exam hall.
- If you have an academic conflict as a result of your exam schedule (two exams at the same time, three exams in a row), you must apply for an accommodation by March 7. The form can be found at: http://www.queensu.ca/registrar/currentstudents/exams/conflicts.html.
- All other requests to move the date and/or time of an exam must be presented to your instructor(s). We do not make any of these accommodations.
Students registered with Health, Counselling and Disability Services (HCDS):
- If you are contacting us to address a computer midterm accommodation, you must submit your accommodation request form to our office no later than 10 working days (2 weeks) prior to your exam.
- April 2013 exam accommodations - You will receive an email to your Queen’s email address after mid-March with details for EACH course for which an accommodation has been made.
- Please note if you do NOT require an accommodation that has been made, you must cancel in writing with this office in advance of your exam or you will be subject to a $45 fine. The cancellation must be made by the student.
- The exams office does not reschedule missed or deferred exams. If an accommodation has been made for a midterm or final exam and you miss the exam (including cancellations), you will be advised to speak with your instructor to make arrangements.
Instructors/Departmental Assistants:
- The April 2013 exam timetable is available for viewing in PeopleSoft in Faculty Centre, the same spot where you view your timetable. All departmental assistants were provided with a copy of the final exam timetable.
- You must provide us with a hard copy of any exam which we are administering. Emailed versions are not accepted for security purposes.
- Completed exams are not returned via campus mail or courier. You (or a delegate) must come to our office to pick up the exam(s). We will ask for ID, and, if it is a delegate, a signed letter from you with the authorization.
- Midterm exam accommodations are made for students who require the use of a computer only. When a midterm is requested, you will be sent a form you must return in order for us to make arrangements. We require a copy of the exam in our office a minimum of 3 business days prior to the exam, or we will not be able to make the accommodation, and the student will be advised to speak with you to make arrangements.
- For all other accommodations, students are directed to speak with you.
- The Exams Office does not reschedule missed exams. If an accommodation has been made for a midterm or final exam and the student misses the exam (including cancellations), they will be directed to speak with you to make arrangements.
- The Exams Office makes accommodations for students who have academic conflict (ie, two exams at the same time, 3 in a row). We do not make any accommodation for non-academic conflict (ie sporting events, wish to return home earlier). Any requests for a student to write at a different day and/or time than the scheduled exams will be directed to the course instructor for approval AND administration.
