I am grateful to the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Ojibwe-Cree, Dakota, Dene, and Red River Metis peoples, on whose lands I live and to the people of Shoal Lake 40, in Treaty 3 territory, whose water I drink.

Hi Ali,

Can you please post this to the Advisor Exchange…

Hello!

We have had an increase in students (some already registered with SAS, some not) who have been referred to our office (by faculty, staff, and advisors), asking for an accommodation to be able to write in-person exams online instead.

Can you please share with your units that we cannot guarantee that students will be provided with online exams, if they register (or are registered) with us. This is not a common accommodation, and often is not possible to implement as an accommodation.

If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Thank you,

Shanda Vitt

The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Ojibwe-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Red River Métis.

We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of Reconciliation and collaboration.
