FINAL - Fall Term 2025 Examination Schedule
by Susan Petras 21 Oct '25

21 Oct '25

Hello Dentistry Students. Please note that the exam schedule is now FINAL. Exams have been scheduled/confirmed in UM Learn. Please be reminded of the policies listed below and seek supports as needed as we enter the stress of end of term. Good luck on all your exams and I hope you have a very restful winter holiday! Susan Susan Petras Student Affairs Coordinator Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry University of Manitoba D113 - 780 Bannatyne Ave. Winnipeg, MB R3E 0W2 [cid:image001.jpg@01DC3E84.6E813940] (204) 789-3484 Susan.Petras(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Susan.Petras@umanitoba.ca> 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

WHO This initiative prioritizes equitable access to dental care for populations facing systemic barrier to dental care. Who can be considered for funding under this grant: * Individuals who have 40% or 60% CDCP coverage - will cover the co-pay amount for Schedule A (see attachment) treatment and for Schedule B (see attachment) treatment that has been pre-approved by Sunlife * Individuals with NO insurance (absolutely NO insurance of any type) who experience barriers to accessing dental care. This could include individuals who are/have: * Newcomers to Canada * Experiencing housing insecurity * Experiencing poverty * Socio-economical barriers to care * Individuals who have met the above criteria and have been pre-screened by the UM Oral Health Community Liaisons team WHAT What treatment can be considered for funding under this grant. * Co-pay amount for 40% and 60% CDCP patients. Schedule A and pre-approved Schedule B treatment. * For non-insured individuals - CDCP Schedule A treatment procedures and Schedule B. Any Schedule B treatment must meet the CDCP criteria to be approved. Refer to the following link to review criterial for selection:https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/dental/dental-care-plan/guide.html#h2.6-1-10 WHERE This grant is targeted at the undergraduate dental and dental hygiene students ONLY. Therefore, ONLY submit approval requests for treatment procedures that will be completed within the Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry undergraduate main clinic or undergraduate oral surgery clinic by an undergraduate dental or dental hygiene student. WHEN The fund expires on 31 March 2026. ANY treatment that has been approved for OHAF funding that is completed AFTER this date will NOT be covered. Again, if you have treatment that has been approved for OHAF funding, but you do not have that treatment completely finished by 31 March 2026 (i.e final crown inserted, RPD final insertion) then it will NOT be covered. HOW Apply for funding through Axium. Ensure you fill out the HCF form fully and in great detail. There is only 1 form for each patient for both the dental hygiene and dental student to use as needed. If something changes with your request then you must update the form and re-action the form. Indicate in the comments section what has changed. Trenna M.
