Final examinations are held at the end of each term for one-term courses and in April for multi-term courses (see Significant Dates). You can see your examination schedule approximately one month before he examination period on the Ryerson website or by logging into RAMSS.
Check your examination schedule regularly for any changes. Also, familiarize yourself with Policy 135: Examination Policy and see Essential Policy Highlights.
Ryerson makes every effort to ensure that students will not be required to write more than two exams in one calendar day (except in exceptional circumstances).
Check your examination schedule to make sure that you do not have two exams scheduled for the same time/date or an examination conflict with a religious observance. Report conflicts to your program department immediately. Further, if you require an alternative time/date for an examination on religious grounds, please read the policy on Accommodation of Student Religious, Aboriginal and Spiritual Observance and see Essential Policy Highlights. Submit the appropriate form within 5 days of the release of the examination schedule. Detailed instructions are on the form.
Final examination accommodation requests must be received at least 7 business days before the start of the final examination period. For detailed information, including how to book your exam, visit the Access Centre’s Test/Exam Booking Procedure Page.
Sometimes students miss tests or exams, usually because of illness or personal/family emergency. If you must miss an exam, you should:
- E-mail/Telephone your instructor(s) as soon as you know you will not be able to write an exam. It is important that you contact your instructor(s) so that you can make alternative arrangements.
- If you cannot reach your instructor(s), try calling or emailing the Teaching Department office(s) and leave a detailed message, including the course name, examination date, instructor’s name, your name and your student number. This is important, so be persistent!
- You must submit the medical certificate or other documentation within three (3) working days of the missed test or examination to the office of your own program. Your Program Department will notify your instructor that they have received the documentation.
