Supplemental Exams

Graduating Students

A student who is in the final year of the BESc program and has applied to graduate in the Spring Convocation may be granted supplemental examination privileges provided that the student has earned:

  1. a failing grade in no more than one full or two half-courses;
  2. a mark of at least 40% in the failed course(s);
  3. a weighted average of at least 60% in the courses that make up the fourth year program (including the failed courses);
  4. an overall average of at least 60% in all the courses that are required for the BESc degree.

 

A supplemental exam can be in any course in any year BUT the student has to be enrolled in the course in their final year. Supplemental examination privileges apply only to courses offered by the Faculty of Engineering.  The student is only allowed to write a maximum of 2 exams.

Permission to write supplemental examinations will be granted only after the academic results for students in their final year have been reviewed by the Faculty at a meeting held during the month of May.

These examinations will be scheduled during the examination period for Intersession.*

*Note: The original grade obtained by the student will not be changed; rather, a Summer Line of Registration with the course and a grade of PAS or FAl will be added to the Academic Record upon the completion of the Supplemental Examination.
