Weather-Related Exam Cancellation – March 11, 2026

Due to inclement weather in the Montreal area, the university has suspended all in-person activities on Wednesday, March 11, 2026. As a result, all exams scheduled with Student Accessibility and Achievement (SAA) on this date have been cancelled.

SAA is currently working with instructors to reschedule affected exams. To allow sufficient time for coordination, instructors have been asked to reschedule exams to the week of March 16, 2026 or later.

  • Students: No action is required at this time. You will receive updated information once a new exam date has been confirmed.
  • Instructors: Once a new exam date is determined, please notify the SAA Exam Team by submitting a Modify an Exam (including contents, delivery, or schedule) request through JIRA and include the updated exam details.

Thank you for your patience and collaboration as we work to reschedule all impacted exams.

Creating accessible course materials provides greater access to all students, and ensures equal access for students with visual, auditory, cognitive or motor impairments.

  • Information on what digital accessibility is and its benefits

Reasonable Consideration Requests

Reasonable Consideration Requests communicate aspects of a student’s accommodation plan that require your knowledge and collaboration.  If you receive one of these notifications from our office, then your student has an active academic accommodation plan with Student Accessibility and Achievement and we have valid medical documentation on file.

Based on the student’s needs and approved supports, the notification email will confirm whether the student may:

  • Need to be absent from courses throughout the semester for valid disability-related reasons
  • Approach you to negotiate deadline extensions on course work
  • Require advanced access to course materials
  • Require permission to record lectures (audio only)
  • Require the use of a laptop in class

Next Steps

If you receive a Reasonable Consideration Request, we encourage you to:

  1. Start a conversation with your student to discuss what support is needed.
  2. Develop an agreement with your student. Agreement templates are available below. The agreement will establish expectations and responsibilities of both parties, as well as limitations.
