Policy on Accommodation For Missed Exams
Students prevented from writing an examination by circumstances such as illness or death in the family shall submit a petition to both the Dental Education (dds.program@schulich.uwo.ca) and Learner Experience Learner.Experience@schulich.uwo.ca) Offices. A petition made because of illness should be accompanied by a medical certificate, available at www.uwo.ca/univsec/pdf/academic_policies/appeals/medicalform.pdf. A petition for other reasons normally should be supported by evidence from a professional acquainted with the circumstances. Students who do not submit appropriate documentation will not be permitted to write a make up (deferred) examination. Feel free to consult Terri MacDougall, Manager, Dental Education, should you have any questions or concerns regarding missed examinations or assignments.
