Hello to all Advisory Exchange Members,

I wanted to provide some information about the upcoming exam session.  Please feel free to distribute this information to your faculty/school/college and instructors as needed. 

Student Accessibility Services

We have a test/exam booking deadline of November 22, 2023 for any exams occurring December 1-22.  We have sent this information via email to all students registered with our office.  Please note that students have received multiple reminders of the deadline as we approach November 22.  Due to the complexities of scheduling and room/invigilation logistics, students who do not book prior to the deadline may not be accommodated.

December exam locations 

We will be using space in five buildings across Fort Garry campus and two buildings at Bannatyne campus to accommodate the number of in-person exams.  Students will be notified by email of their exam location no later than the day before their test or exam.

Online uploading of exam details

The online scheduler is available 24/7 for students and faculty to use.  

Student instructions for the online scheduler: https://umanitoba.ca/sites/default/files/2021-09/scheduling-an-exam-on-the-sas-portal.pdf

Online scheduler: https://sasclockwork.cc.umanitoba.ca/ClockWork/custom/misc/home.aspx

Using the online scheduler, Instructors can enter test details, provide their contact information, and upload a secure copy of their test to the database. 

Please note that, due to the 30% increase in test bookings, our in-person service will be slower than usual during the exam period.  Please try to avoid in-person visits to the Exam Centre at 9am, 1:30pm, and 6pm on final exam days.  We will be starting individual exams for hundreds of students at these times and will not have staff immediately available to assist you.  

January

We will be able to accommodate bookings for exam deferrals with one week’s notice in the month of January.  

The regular two-week booking procedure will apply for the remainder of Winter Term.  

The booking deadline for exams occurring in the month of April will be March 15, 2024.

New students

We are ready to welcome new student referrals.  However, due to the multiple steps and personnel involved, academic accommodations can take several weeks to implement.  Students who have appointments in late November and December will have accommodations in place for the start of the Winter Term.  

Thank you and best wishes for the rest of the term.

Thank you,

Shanda Vitt
