Ever wondered why we need 10 business days notice for alternate exam dates?

What you need to know!

The SE office can arrange alternate exam dates for Commerce courses, but only with 10 business days notice. Here’s why:

  • We need to book a room on campus, ensuring there’s enough room for each student with a space in between.
  • We need to book invigilators, adhering to rules about the student-to-invigilator ratio.
  • Professors need time to create different exams to maintain academic integrity.

The advance notice helps us manage logistics effectively, ensuring we provide the best support possible. Without it we may not have time to book a larger room, additional invigilators, or provide a different exam.

Please note: An approved MSAF-AR doesn’t guarantee an alternate exam date. Professors retain the right to not include their students in our scheduled alternate exam dates.
