Conflicts
Class Conflicts
If you have a class conflict with an exam/test you will need academic consideration to move the exam/test. Request academic consideration.
Midterm Test/Exam Conflicts
If you have two exams/tests at the same time, please request academic consideration. You will need to list both exams/tests, including the day and times, and then indicate which exam you hope to move. In situations where there is an in-class midterm and a midterm outside of class hours the in-class midterm takes priority.
Midterm/Test: 3 in 23 hours
The Brescia School of Food and Nutritional Sciences will extend the University Exam Conflict Policy of 3 exams in 23 hours to midterm exams/tests provided that each midterm exam/test is worth 15% or more of the final grade. Please request academic consideration. Each case is reviewed separately and students must show how much the course component is worth when completing the request. Course outlines may be required. If approved, we will allow you to move one of your midterm exams/tests in order to eliminate the 3 in 23 conflict. In situations where there is an in-class midterm and a midterm outside of class hours the in-class midterm takes priority.
Final Examination Conflicts
Please refer to the for examination conflict information.
Students who have direct examination conflicts or multiple examination situations during the December mid-year examination and April examination periods will be emailed instructions, by the Office of the Registrar, as to how to make alternative arrangements.
The Brescia School of Food and Nutritional Sciences Advising Office will also accommodate students who have direct conflicts during the mid-term examination periods. Please request academic consideration.
NOTE: A December examination conflict involving a mid-term and a final examination will require the rescheduling of the mid-term, not the final exam.
Accommodation Requests
Holy Days
Students should first verify the conflict with the Final Exam Schedule and then request academic consideration.
Sleeping In/Misreading the Timetable/Flight Arrangements
These are not considered grounds for accommodation and professors are not required to set a special examination for students who miss an exam due to such reasons. Students who are only 30 minutes late for an examination may be given permission to start it. Students are expected to schedule vacations and flights that do not conflict with the examination schedule.
Medical Illness/Compassionate Issues
Students need to request academic consideration within 48 hours of the missed work. Accommodation of this nature will not be given without appropriate documentation.
For medical illnesses students should visit a Physician and have them complete a .
For compassionate issues students should obtain appropriate documentation on letterhead (or as instructed by the Academic Advising Office).
