EXAMINATION POLICIES
Writing Examinations:
Students are obliged to produce official photo identification at anytime during the semester when
requested to do so by any professor (the official piece is the Algonquin College Student ID Card).
Students must put their official photo-ID cards in full view when writing a test or examination. Students
who do not have official photo-ID will be permitted to write the examination with a substitute photo-ID but
they will be required to produce a photo-ID within 24 hours or examination results will be void.
Students are expected to arrive at the examination site on time. No student will be admitted more than
30 minutes after the examination has commenced. No student may leave within the first 30 minutes
after the examination has commenced.
Some courses may require that a student obtain a passing grade on the final examination in addition to
the requirement for an over all passing grade in a course. A student, who is passing the course but fails
this course as a result of failing the final examination, will be permitted to write one supplemental
examination. This supplemental examination will be scheduled by the E/EMS Department, and students
will be advised of the re-write opportunity dates (see Examination Re-writes Policy below).
MID TERM RE-WRITES
Mid Term Examinations - There is no supplementary exam capability for mid-term examinations. Please
refer to missed examination policy for writing policies.
EXAMINATION RE-WRITES
Students, who fail to meet the academic requirement of 60%, or the accreditation requirement relating to
the 70% final grade in each individual subject, may be given an opportunity to be re-examined on the
same subject in order to improve their grade status. Students must have achieved a minimum grade to
45% on their final examination in order to be eligible for a re-write.
Students, who fail 3 or more courses in any semester, will be required to cease training. Students are
required to return and complete the failed courses prior to continuing into subsequent semesters. In
addition, student who have ceased training are not eligible for re-writes in any of the failed courses for
that semester.
Students, who wish to avail themselves of the re-write capability for final examinations, must sign up for
the supplementary process. A schedule of supplementary examinations is available from the program
coordinator in room T204. It is the students’ responsibility to be aware of the dates, and ensure they sign
up accordingly.
MISSED EXAMINATIONS:
A student who fails to attend a scheduled examination, either mid-term or final, must provide documented
proof of the reason for absence prior to rescheduling of the missed exam. This documented proof shall be
in the form of a valid note of explanation such as Doctor's Certificate, Court Notice, Barrister's Notice, or a
letter from the Chair of the E/EMS Department documenting pre-arranged approval to reschedule the
examination due to mitigating circumstances. There will be no exception to this policy. Students who
fail to meet this requirement will receive a mark of Zero on the applicable examination.
A missed Mid-term Examination - Arrangements for scheduling must be made with the individual faculty
member, at a time that accommodates their schedule. A rescheduled mid-term examination must be
written prior to the scheduled date for the final examination. This examination may take the form of short
answer, essay question or multi-choice. Students may be subject to a fee for any financial impact realized
by the Aerospace Department for the scheduling of a supplementary mid-term examination.
A missed Final Examination - will be written during the next scheduled Supplementary Examination
process following the delivery of the original examination, in accordance with the re-write policy indicated
above. This examination may take the form of short answer, essay question or multi-choice. Students
may be subject to a fee for any financial impact realized by the Aerospace Department for the scheduling
of a supplementary final examination.
NOTE EXAMINATION FEES: A fee will be charged per student to rewrite any exam. Current fees
are available from the Program Coordinator in Room T-204.
