Deferred Examinations for Summer Term Courses
If, for serious reasons such as illness or family affliction, you have not written one or more examinations, you must submit a request for a deferral on Minerva.
If the request is approved, you may be granted the option of writing a deferred examination. In such cases, a grade of "L" will be entered on your record, to be replaced subsequently by the grade received in the deferred examination.
Students with permission to write a deferred examination (for courses administered by faculties outside of Engineering) should expect to write the deferral in mid-August concurrent with the Winter deferred exams. Please see www.mcgill.ca/students/exams/supdefer for further details. For deferral application dates, please see www.mcgill.ca/students/exams/dates.
Please note that for courses administered by the Faculty of Education, deferred examinations will not be permitted; however, in exceptional circumstances, you may be granted permission to withdraw from the course, without refund.
A student who, in the absence of exceptional circumstances, does not write the final examination and has not formally withdrawn from the course, will be given a letter grade of "J," which will count as a failure in the TGPA and CGPA.
The final examination schedule for Summer Studies courses is available at www.mcgill.ca/summer/finalexams.
