Deferrals for Music Students

Deferred examinations are permitted in the case of illness or other exceptional circumstances.

  • Music students requesting a deferred examination in academic courses must submit the Request for a Deferred Examination in Minerva.
  • Students requesting a deferred examination in a practical music examination must contact the Performance Department directly to re-schedule the exam.

Supporting evidence such as an appropriate medical note is required. The supporting documents must be submitted to the Music Student Affairs Office no later than January 15 (for Fall courses) or May 15 (for Winter courses). For all exam deferral requests except for practical music examination, an L (deferred) will appear in place of a grade if the request is approved. The grade obtained in the deferred examination will replace the grade of L (deferred) on the official transcript.

Deferred examinations in academic courses without a final exam during the official exam period are given at the discretion of the instructor. A deferred examination in a Music practical examination will be held during the next examination period.

Deferred examinations in academic courses will be held in the study break week the Fall term and August for the Winter term. See the Exams website for more information. It is the student's responsibility to check the date, time, and place of the deferred examination.

A mark of L (deferred) not cleared by mid-May makes the student ineligible for scholarships.

Students who are unable to write a deferred exam must contact the Music Student Affairs Office immediately to initiate a withdrawal from the deferred exam. Deferred examinations cannot be written at a later date. If the withdrawal is not approved, a final grade of J (absent) will be entered and will count as a zero in the TGPA/CGPA.
