Examinations
For
information about final examinations and deferred examinations, see
also Programs, Courses and University Regulations > University Regulations and Resources > Undergraduate > Examinations: General Information. Final examinations are centrally administered by Enrolment
Services. Around the beginning of November and March, a final examination
schedule will be posted on the McGill website (www.mcgill.ca) by Enrolment Services. The seating
arrangements are posted on the McGill website toward the end of the last week
of classes.
BCom students and non-Management students taking BCom courses are contacted by Enrolment Services via McGill email regarding final exam conflicts. Arrangements to resolve final exam conflicts are made and communicated by Enrolment Services via McGill email as well. You
should also refer to the BCom website at
www.mcgill.ca/desautels/bcom for more information.
Students are warned not to make travel arrangements to leave Montreal prior to
the posting of the official final examination schedule.
BCom courses cannot have examinations scheduled during the last two
weeks of term worth more than 10% of the final grade. You
must repeat any grades of D or F in core courses or courses as part of a
concentration, minor, major, or honours program. However, D is a passing grade
for elective courses.
Supplemental Examinations
Supplemental Examinations
Supplemental examinations are not offered in
undergraduate courses administered by the Desautels Faculty of Management. If
you are required to improve your
standing in a course,
you must repeat the course in a subsequent term,
completing all course requirements to the satisfaction of the instructor.
Faculty policy does not allow you
to do additional work to improve your
standing in a course.
Deferred Examinations
Deferred Examinations
For missed final examinations, whatever the
reason may be, professors and students are
not to make alternate arrangements. You
must complete an
Application for Deferred Final Exam through your
Minerva account as well as provide supporting documentation to
the BCom Office. This online application must be completed within five working
days of the date of the exam, and the supporting documentation must be submitted
to the BCom Office within this time frame as well. The BCom Office will then
review the reasons for the exam having been missed and will either give you
permission to write a deferred final exam, or not. If approved, you
will write the final exam during the University's official deferred exam period—specific dates in May (Fall terms) and August (Winter and Summer terms). It
is up to you
to verify the deferral schedule, which the Registrar makes up and administers.
