Any student who is absent from a test or fails to complete a laboratory assignment or similar work for legitimate reasons must discuss an alternative course of action with the instructor. The regulations covering such circumstances are outlined in the sections E.3 Attendance and G.7 Deferral of Term Work in the Academic Regulations section of this Calendar. In such cases, the instructor must be notified within 48 hours.

See the general University regulations governing the deferral of final examinations. In order to apply for a deferral of a final examination, students must pick up an application form in the Office of the Registrar or download it from the Registrar's website at ucalgary.ca/registrar/exams and submit the completed form to the Associate Dean (UHSE). Students seeking a deferment of a final examination for medical reasons must submit a Physician/Counsellor Statement form, which they can obtain from the Office of the Registrar or download from the website. A medical certificate stating only that a student has been seen by a physician is insufficient. Misreading the examination timetable is not a valid reason for requesting a deferred final examination.
