Our understanding in Admissions is that last year there was a significant increase in deferred exams due to the new policies in place. At times students applying to professional programs forget that deferred exams might affect their admission.
As you are meeting with students who are requesting deferred exams, we would ask that you remind them that if they are applying to any profession undergraduate programs they should do the following:
- Applicants must inform the Admissions office via email to their program admissions address if they are writing a deferred exam (i.e.
admissions.engineering@umanitoba.ca or
admissions.dentistry@umanitoba.ca etc.)
- Admissions will need to know the course, the date the exam will be written, and when the grade can be received.
- Deferred exams must be written, and the marks received in Admissions by the document deadline (typically June 1st). Document deadlines are posted in the program Bulletins.
Below is the statement we have across all of our Bulletins:
It is the applicant’s responsibility to inform the Admissions Office in writing of any deferred exams or grade changes. All final grades, including grade changes must be submitted to the Admissions Office by
the document deadline in order for them to be included in the final selection process. Grade changes will not be accepted after the documentation deadline date.
If a grade is not available by the documentation deadline date, an ‘F’ grade will be used in the final admission determination and calculation.
If you have any questions about our process or regarding a specific student, feel free to contact our office.
