Student Accessibility and Achievement is currently experiencing exceptionally high demand for services while managing significant staffing and capacity constraints. At this time services at both the downtown and Macdonald campuses will be delivered remotely. Exam operations are not impacted and will continue as expected. If remote service creates a barrier for you, please contact us at access.achieve [at] mcgill.ca so we may identify an available alternative.

Please use the correct channel to make your inquiry: appointment requests must be submitted through ClockWork and all exam related questions must be submitted through JIRA.

Sign-up at least 14 days before your exam (applies to all timed assessments)
