Deferred Assessments

Winter 2025 Extensions

Posted on May 26th, 2025

Winter 2025  Deferred Final Exams [1] will be written on the week of June 9-13, 2025. 

B.Sc. and B. MATH students who are ill or have other valid grounds may request an extension on a Deferred Final Exam or Deferred Condition. 

To request an extension, please follow the instructions below:  

1. Please submit a completed Winter 2025 Deferred Assessment Request (Extension) form [2] to bscdef@uoguelph.ca [3] using your UofG email address.  

2. Documentation from a health care provider will be required for an extension to be approved.  

3. In addition to submitting these forms, students will need to email ORS Exams (at orsexams@uoguelph.ca [4]) at least 24 hours in advance to inform them that they will be missing their deferred assessment or exam. Failure to do so will result in a $200 administrative fee being charged to your student account.   

Please submit your request within 5 business days of the missed deferred deadline using your UofG  email address.  

Frequently asked Questions:  

What type of documentation needs to be submitted?  

Documentation can come from a recognized health care provider such as Student Health Services, Counselling Services, family doctor, walk-in clinic, nurse, nurse practitioner, therapist, counsellor, naturopath, chiropractor, dentist, etc.).  

Can you tell me more about the $200 fee?  

Effective September 1, 2024, a $200 administrative fee will be charged to your student account if you fail to attend a scheduled in-person deferred exam. This fee applies per exam missed. For example, if you miss two in-person deferred exams without proper notice, you will be charged $400. 

To avoid the fee, you must email ORS Exams at orsexams@uoguelph.ca [4] at least 24 hours in advance if you are unable to attend. 

I am unable to view the course material on Courselink. Would you be able to reinstate my access?

 If you have been approved for a DEF and are unable to view your course material, please email your course instructor as soon as possible so that they can reinstate your access.  

I am not in Guelph this Summer, can I write my exam elsewhere?  

Students who will be living more than 150 kilometers from the University of Guelph during the deferred examination session may apply to write their deferred exam at an academic institution (High School, College or University) within their own vicinity. Off-site Invigilator forms must be completed and submitted to orsexams@uoguelph.ca [4] no later than May 30, 2025.
