NOTE: If you are writing a deferred exam in the upcoming Final exam period, contact your academic advisorhttps://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/academic-supports/academic-advising to confirm your deferred exam details.

________________________________

Student access to final exams

To allow proper feedback, students shall have an opportunity to read their own final examination script and any comments written on it prior to the deadline for a formal grade appeal, but only in the presence of the instructor or a staff member appointed by a faculty, school, or academic unit.

Notwithstanding the above, there is no obligation upon the faculty, school, or academic unit to make machine-scored examination answer sheets available for consultation by students. It is expected that faculties, schools, and academic units will provide appropriate means of feedback to students in such circumstances and, where practicable, will encourage instructors to discuss selected questions and answers.
