General Information

Students registered at Academic Accommodation Support, must submit final examination accommodation requests by the deadline, which is before the start of the final examination period. Find the deadlines and how to book an accommodated quiz, test or exam.

Students who are registered with Academic Accommodation Support may sometimes have extenuating circumstances, unrelated to their accommodations. See information about Academic Consideration.

Any behaviour that undermines the university's ability to evaluate fairly students' academic achievements, or any behaviour that a student knew, or reasonably ought to have known, could gain them or others unearned academic advantage or benefit, counts as academic misconduct (Policy 60: Academic Integrity). The range of penalties include a grade reduction, up to and including a zero on the exam, an “F” in the course and/or suspension/withdrawal/expulsion from the University. All findings of academic misconduct will include a Disciplinary Notation on your internal academic record. You are responsible for being familiar with the Academic Integrity Policy. For more information, please visit the Academic Integrity Office website.  If you are unsure how these policies apply to your exam, please contact your Professor or the Academic Integrity Office (AIO) at aio@torontomu.ca as soon as possible.

Guidelines for proper conduct in exams and penalties for misconduct are listed in the Final Examination Policy, Academic Integrity Policy, and the Student Code of Non-Academic Conduct. It is your responsibility to read and understand them. See below for specific exam procedures.

Check your examination schedule to make sure you do not have a conflict or overload. 

Conflict: two final exams at the same time

Overload: three final exams on the same day, or three consecutive exam sessions. Exam sessions usually start in the morning, noon, afternoon or evening

Example of overloads:

  • Morning, noon, and evening exams on the same day (three in one day)
  • Afternoon, evening, and another exam the next morning (three consecutive time slots)

If you have a conflict or overload, notify your program department or school by email by Monday, April 1, 2024.

See the Procedures, Scheduling and Conflicts, Section 4 of the Exam Policy for more details.
