ADM Final Exam Accommodations

  • Ensure you have shared a copy of your accommodation letter with your instructors. Do not wait until just before your exams.
  • Check in with your course instructors to confirm your class is scheduled to write a final exam during the final exam period (some course may have final exams listed but are providing take-home tests or final assignments in lieu of an exam).
  • If you have final exam accommodation needs/concerns beyond extra time, please reach out to the Centre immediately to discuss.
  • The course instructor is responsible for making amendments to online final exam times and providing any other testing accommodations.
  • Check your exam times for accommodation before you begin your final (if available on your testing platform). If there is any doubt, please contact your instructor; or
  • Please feel free to use our Testing Accommodation Reminder form. Details are provided in the link and there is a hot button to the form on our homepage.

  • If this applies to you, you must contact the Centre (unbsac@unb.ca) for any face-to-face final exams you may have on campus.
  • Students must give at least 5 business days in advance otherwise the Centre cannot provide accommodation due to the requirements of our Operational Plan and the UNB Health & Safety regulations.

  • If you cannot complete your final exams as scheduled due to serious health or personal circumstances, you can request an Alternate Final Exam (exam deferral).
  • You must be able to submit a letter/note from a healthcare professional supporting your request within two weeks of the exam date/deadline.
