failing exams happens - what's important is that you address the situation as soon as possible. if you have failed an exam, you have a few options moving forward:

special exams:

the privilege of writing special examinations is limited to any undergraduate student who has:

(i) failed the course but attained a grade of at least 40% in each course for which a special examination is requested; or
(ii) passed the course but failed to attain the minimum grade required in the course; or
(iii) passed the course but failed to attain the required cumulative average to carry on with his/her program.

furthermore, 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 can only request to write a special exam for official final exams found on the exam timetable - that is, if your final exam was not an official final exam, you cannot request to write a special exam for that course.

keep in mind that 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 can write a maximum of two full course equivalents (2.0 fces) in special exams while in any one program, and only the weight of the final exam will be be replaced - not the entire course mark.

repeating courses

if you are not eligible to write a special exam, or if you choose not to, you also have the option to retake the course in a future term. keep in mind, if the course that you failed was a requirement for your program, you will need to retake the course at some point prior to graduation. if on the other hand the course that you failed was an elective, then you wouldn't necessarily have to retake the course if you didn't want to - with that being said, that grade will remain on your transcript and continue to be included in your average.

when repeating courses, there are some important regulations to note. in particular, all courses can be repeated twice, meaning that a course can be taken a total of three times. additionally, if a course is repeated, the most recent mark is always used in the average calculation, regardless of whether it is better or worse than the previous attempt. in addition, if a credit is obtained on a previous attempt (i.e. you pass the course the first time but repeat it for a better mark) and then failed on the next attempt, that credit is lost.

ultimately, if you decide to repeat courses, this may add some extra time to your studies, or you may need to go into course overload or take courses during the spring/summer term to catch up. with that being said, there's always options, and you are encouraged to contact student central if you have any questions about this.

please refer to this webpage for additional information on what to do should you become ill. 

a student who is unable to write an exam during the formal exam period (e.g. december, april) for religious or creed-based holidays, leaves and ritual observances, must submit a creed and religious accommodation agreement (exams) to enrolment services no later than three weeks prior to the start of the final exam period for that term.

deadlines: november 15th (december exam period) and march 15th (april exam period)

upon approval, enrolment services, in conjunction with the instructor, will schedule an alternative exam date within the examination period for that term. 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 will be notified of the reschedules date via their 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 email address.

the creed and religious accommodation agreement (exams) for can be found here.

during exam time, lakehead keeps many services open late to accommodate those late night study sessions. there are a number of places on campus where 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 can study, and many of them have extended hours during exam time.
