Final Exams

It is assumed that all distance education students will be writing their final examination(s) on campus at the University of Guelph.

If you are studying at a distance, you can request to write your final examination at an alternate location. It is recommended that you make arrangements as early as possible in the semester since changes cannot be guaranteed after the deadline. 

Important Off-Campus Exam Location Information

All examination locations must be selected by the first day of Week 3 of the semester. 

Please note that a $30 fee will apply if:

• You submit this form after the deadline date.
• You request a change in your exam location, time or date after the deadline date, including changing your location back to Guelph.
• You do not write your off-campus examinations as scheduled (no-show). Please note, each missed examination will result in a separate $30 fee.

Your examination schedule will be emailed to you by Week 10 of the semester. Please email the DE Exam Coordinator immediately if you do not receive your schedule by this time. Every effort will be made to locate an exam site in your preferred city; however, this may not always be possible due to exam site availability and you may be required to travel outside of your preferred city. If you are a DE student living within 100 kilometres of Guelph, you may still request to write off campus; however, you may be asked to travel to Guelph for your final exam(s). 

Please note that off-campus exams are not necessarily scheduled on the same date and time as the on-campus exams. You may be required to write your off-campus exam earlier or later than the on-campus exam date and must be available to write at any date and time during the scheduled exam period.
