Friday, December 9th is the last day of classes before the exam period. A reminder that classes and workshops follow a Monday schedule so anything that you would normally have scheduled on Monday will happen again on Friday!

Good luck on your exams! Study hard – we hope they go well! December 9th is the last date of classes. Classes are not held during the exam period (December 10-22). To check your exam schedule, login to Carleton Central and under “Student Records” you’ll find a link to “MyExam Schedule”. Questions about how exams work ? Check out the handy exam page for guidance on what to expect.

What do you do if you have to miss an exam? There are different processes depending on the type of exam, i.e., whether it’s a final exam (for Sep-Dec courses) or midterm exam (for Sep-Apr courses).

• Final exams: Apply for a deferral through the Registrars Office, 302 Tory, 613-520-3500. If it is a final exam (for a half credit course) you fill out the Online Deferral Application: carleton.ca/registrar/deferral/.
  • Documentation is normally required – due to the COVID situation, you can use a “self-declaration of illness” form instead of a note from a doctor.
  • You must apply for a deferral within 3 days of the exam date.
  • When you apply to defer a final exam, you will normally write at a designated time in the deferred exam period: January 20-22, 27-29, 2023. Take home exam deferrals are normally due January 15, 2023.
• Midterm exams: For midterms in full-credit courses, contact your course professor directly by email.
  • You should do so in advance or at least within 24 hours of the exam date and provide the reason.
  • Documentation (depending on your reason a medical note, a funeral notice, etc.) is normally required. Due to the COVID situation, you can use a “self-declaration of illness” form instead of a note from a doctor.
  • The professor will let you know when you can rewrite (normally early in January).
