A student who cannot write the final examination due to incapacitating illness, severe domestic
affliction or other compelling reasons can apply for a deferred final examination. Such an
application must be made to the student’s Faculty office within 48 hours of the missed
examination and must be supported by a Statutory Declaration (in lieu of a medical statement
form) or other appropriate documentation (Calendar section 23.5.6). Deferred examinations
are a privilege and not a right; there is no guarantee that a deferred examination will be
granted. Misrepresentation of Facts to gain a deferred examination is a serious breach of the
Code of Student Behaviour.
Re-examination: A student who writes the final examination and fails the course may apply for
a re-examination. Re-examinations are rarely granted in the Faculty of Science. These exams
are governed by University (Calendar section 23.5.5) and Faculty of Science Regulations
(Calendar section 182.5.9). Misrepresentation of Facts to gain a re-examination is a serious
breach of the Code of Student Behaviour.
Students Behaviour:
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: ‘The University of Alberta is committed to the highest standards of academic
integrity and honesty. Students are expected to be familiar with these standards regarding academic
honesty and to uphold the policies of the University in this respect. Students are particularly urged to
familiarize themselves with the provisions of the Code of Student Behaviour (online at
www.ualberta.ca/secretariat/appeals.htm) and avoid any behaviour which could potentially result in
suspicions of cheating, plagiarism, misrepresentation of facts and/or participation in an offence.
Academic dishonesty is a serious offence and can result in suspension or expulsion from the University.
All forms of dishonesty are unacceptable at the University. Any offense will be reported to the Senior
Associate Dean of Science who will determine the disciplinary action to be taken. Cheating, plagiarism
and misrepresentation of facts are serious offenses. Anyone who engages in these practices will receive
at minimum a grade of zero for the exam or paper in question and no opportunity will be given to
replace the grade or redistribute the weights. As well, in the Faculty of Science the sanction for cheating
on any examination will include a disciplinary failing grade (no exceptions) and senior students should
expect a period of suspension or expulsion from the University of Alberta.
Students with disabilities: Students who require accommodation in this course due to a
disability are advised to discuss their needs with Specialized Support & Disability Services (2-800
Students’ Union Building).
