I am a uOttawa student studying at Carleton on exchange, how do I pay my fees?<\/a><\/dt>\n\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

As a uOttawa student studying at Carleton University on exchange, you may be wondering how to pay your fees. It’s important to note that the distance exam fee will be added to your Carleton student account at the end of the term. We recommend that you regularly check your account balance to ensure that you are aware of any fees you may owe. If you have any further questions or concerns about paying your fees, you can\u00a0contact Student Accounts at\u00a0student_accounts@carleton.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/dd>\n\n\t

\n\n\t\t
What if I am a PMC student?<\/a><\/dt>\n\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

PMC Students should ensure that they have registered with the Paul Menton Centre in order to receive distance exam accommodations.\u00a0 Students that do not register with the PMC prior to the distance exam application deadline may not be eligible for distance exam services.<\/p>\n

PMC students should also note on their Distance Exam Application that they are a PMC student.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/dd>\n\n\t

\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t
\n\n\t\t
What if I am ill on the date of the exam or need to change the date of my exam?<\/a><\/dt>\n\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

All date changes must be approved in writing by the Professor and submitted to the Distance Exam<\/a>. You can also refer to the Registrar\u2019s Office website for more details on deferral Defer an Exam – Registrar’s Office (carleton.ca)<\/a>. If you decide to apply for a deferred exam, remember to inform the distance exam team<\/a> to cancel your original distance exam request. This will ensure you are not charged for the exams.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/dd>\n\n\t

\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t
\n\n\t\t
What if I decide to cancel my application and write on Campus?<\/a><\/dt>\n\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Students who wish to cancel their distance exam application can do so by emailing DistanceExams<\/a>. Cancellations received more than 7 days before the scheduled exam date will be cancelled without charge. Cancellation requests received within 7 days of the scheduled exam date will have a cancellation fee of $25 applied to their account.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/dd>\n\n\t

\n<\/div>\n\n

I live near campus; can I still apply for this service?<\/a><\/dt>\n\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Students within 160km<\/u><\/strong> of campus are not eligible for this service.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/dd>\n\n\t

\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t
\n\n\t\t
When do I take my exams?<\/a><\/dt>\n\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Distance students must assume that they will write on the same date as the on-campus students, however, the start time may be adjusted due to time zones, exam center availability etc.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/dd>\n\n\t

\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t
\n\n\t\t
When do I receive details about CoMaS?<\/a><\/dt>\n\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

CoMaS invite\/details are sent to students who are approved to write at a distance, one week<\/strong> before their exam start time. If on the 5th day before your exam start time and you have not received any details regarding your CoMaS invite, please contact\u00a0<\/span>OnlineExams.<\/span><\/a> You can find more details about our e-proctoring tool by clicking CoMaS.<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t<\/dd>\n\n\t

\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t
\n\n\t\t
Who will invigilate my distance exam?<\/a><\/dt>\n\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Most distance exams are taken online and supervised using CoMaS. However, if a student faces serious challenges that make online writing impossible, such as technology limitations or an exam format that doesn\u2019t work well online, we will arrange for them to write at a post-secondary institution or an exam centre with a proctor.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/dd>\n\n\t

\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t
\n\n\t\t
What if I miss the deadline for applying for a distance exam?<\/a><\/dt>\n\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Late applications may be considered but can result in the application being declined. If approved, a $25 late application fee applies. Applications received less than TWO WEEKS prior to the scheduled exam will not<\/u><\/strong> be processed.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve already missed the deadline, please email the Distance Exams office<\/a> for guidance.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/dd>\n\n\t

Distance Exam (Deferred Final Exam)<\/h2>\n
\n\t\n
\n\t
\n\n\t\t
I missed the deadline to apply for a deferred final exam off-campus or at a distance. Can I still apply?<\/a><\/dt>\n\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Late requests to write a deferred final exam off-campus or at a distance will not be accepted.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/dd>\n\n\t

\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t
\n\n\t\t
Can I change the location of my off-campus deferred final exam after it’s approved?<\/a><\/dt>\n\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Once your location is approved for an off-campus deferred final exam, it cannot be changed. You will write your exam at a post-secondary institution near the city you selected or within 160 km of your location, unless the distance team advises otherwise.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/dd>\n\n\t

\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t
\n\n\t\t
Can I request to write my deferred final exam online if it was originally in-person?<\/a><\/dt>\n\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

No, you cannot request to write a deferred final exam online if the original exam was in-person. Deferred exams follow the same format as the original. If the final exam was held online, the deferred exam will also be online. If it was on campus (either paper-based or digital), the deferred exam will be held on campus or at a nearby post-secondary institution in the city you mentioned in your application. This ensures a consistent exam environment and fairness for all students.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/dd>\n\n\t

\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t
\n\n\t\t
I was approved for a deferred final exam but already paid a fee for the Distance\/Off-campus exam I didn\u2019t attend during finals. Will I have to pay for the deferred Distance\/Off-campus exam too?<\/a><\/dt>\n\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Yes. If you are approved for a deferred Off-campus\/Distance exam, you will still need to pay the fee, even if you were charged for the original exam and didn\u2019t attend. Make sure to inform the Distance Exam Team<\/a> about any changes to your exam plans, such as deferring or canceling. You must notify them by email if you can\u2019t attend or need to adjust your arrangements. If you don\u2019t, the full fee will still be charged to your account.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/dd>\n\n\t

\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t
\n\n\t\t
When will I receive information about my off-campus deferred final exam location or other details?<\/a><\/dt>\n\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

You will receive confirmation or additional information about your off-campus deferred exam location and related details approximately five days prior to the exam date. For more information, please refer to the deferred exam page<\/a> or contact Distance Exam Team<\/a> via email.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/dd>\n\n\t

\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t
\n\n\t\t
If I was approved for a distance exam during finals but now have a deferred exam, does the distance exam approval still apply?<\/a><\/dt>\n\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

No, the distance exam approval for your finals does not carry over to the deferred exam. You need to apply again for a deferred off-campus exam through the Registrar’s Office<\/a>. Please submit your deferred off-campus exam request here<\/a> and be sure to select off-campus.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/dd>\n\n\t

\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t
\n\n\t\t
I am approved for an off-campus\/distance deferral final exam; do I still submit another request here?<\/a><\/dt>\n\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

If you’ve received approval for an off-campus deferral exam, it’s not necessary for you to apply for distance exam service. More information about your deferred off-campus exam will be provided once the deferred exam schedule is released, or at least 5 business days before your scheduled exam. Please consult the deferred exam page<\/a> for details on the deferred exam period.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/dd>\n\n\t
