This change will mean a few updates to our sessional dates will need to be made over the coming weeks on Student Center and in the Western Calendar/Important Dates. We are aiming to have all the updates made in January 2022.
Note: Special Examinations and make-ups should not be scheduled to occur until classes have resumed on January 10, 2022. The Special Examinations policy will remain in effect, with alternative dates approved by the Dean of the student’s Faculty of registration in consultation with the Instructor and Chair of the Department offering the course.
