Have You Deferred an Exam?

April 29, 2026

Contributed by: Ericka Wagner

If you deferred a final exam from the Winter 2026 term, you will be writing this final exam during the Summer 2026 Deferred Exam period (Monday, June 22 to Friday, June 25). This exam will be the same format as was provided during the Winter 2026 exam period (ie. In-person, online, take-home, etc). There will be no further accommodations made regarding the completion of this course component.
