PENDING FINAL - Undergraduate Fall Term 2024 Examination Schedule
by Susan Petras 17 Mar '25

17 Mar '25

Hello D1, D2, D3 and D4, Please find attached the PENDING FINAL 2024 FALL Examination schedules. The attached has been developed with input from Class Representatives and Course Coordinators. Please review the attached information and let me know of any individual concerns prior to Friday, October 25th, 2024. If no concerns are raised in regards to this schedule (prior to the deadline) I will notify, via e-mail, that the schedule has been confirmed and it will become FINAL. At that time I will finish adding it to UM Learn Calendars. Please be reminded that until this schedule has been finalized, you are expected to remain available until the end of the exam period (until 5 pm of the last date). Please be reminded of the following College policies (as listed on your course outlines): Deferred/Make-up Exams: Examinations that, due to student absence, must be re-administered at times other than the scheduled period, are highly disruptive to the course sequence. They require the preparation of another examination, scheduling of a testing location, and the assignment of faculty to proctor the exam. The different date has the potential to afford an unfair advantage to a student. The Course Coordinator may, at his/her discretion, choose to alter the format of a re-administered examination to accommodate the above concerns. A re-administered examination may include one or a combination of short answer, essay, or multiple-choice questions, and can be in either oral or written format. Students are expected to write examinations on the scheduled dates. Students with unexcused examination absences will be given a mark of zero ('0') for the exam. To obtain a deferral for an examination, students must give notice of the absence to the Instructor, Course Coordinator, and the Dean's Office (absent(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:absent@umanitoba.ca>) of the absence prior to the start of the examination. This can be a very stressful time of year. If you need some help in coping with the stress, please contact: STUDENT SERVICES AT BANNATYNE CAMPUS https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/student-services-bannatyne-campus Good Luck on your Exams!

Hello, One of our IPE facilitators for Jan 24th, 2025 session just sent me a link to a piece written by a prosthodontist on their experience as a patient.

On January 24th, your IPE learning team will meet a meet two patient or family advisors from the patient engagement program with Shared Health and or the Center for Healthcare Innovation. They will share their lived experiences. As a team, you will have the opportunity to listen to their stories and engage with them through a question and answer session. In advance of the learning activity, please read the following poem (attached to this email): Metersky, K. (2022).
