We recommend the followings steps to ensure a smooth exam experience with MEC.

Request Exam Accommodations

Best Practice: Request accommodations for your courses in Ventus at the beginning of the term, and follow up with each of your course instructors to discuss your accommodations.

Key Deadlines:

  • 14 days before a test or exam: Please submit your accommodation requests through Ventus 14 days before a test/exam or earlier to ensure time-sensitive arrangements can be made.
  • After the 14-day deadline: Late requests may be accommodated pending space availability but are not guaranteed.
  • 3 business days before a test or exam: No late requests or changes to existing arrangements will be accepted.

Manage Your Exam Accommodations

Once a Notice of Examination (NoE) has been submitted by your professor to the McIntyre Exam Centre for an upcoming test or exam, it is your responsibility to manage your accommodations in 5 easy steps

Check Your Exam Accommodations

Check the Ventus Portal 3 days before a test or exam to confirm:

  • Extra time has been applied for online tests or exams in Brightspace.
  • Location has been confirmed for in-person tests or exams scheduled by MEC.

Please note: Exam accommodation confirmations will only be available in the Ventus Portal. They will not be posted in your personalized exam schedule in Carleton Central or Carleton Mobile App.
