W26 Requesting Deferred Assessments

Posted on Wednesday, March 18th, 2026

If you are unable to complete a final exam or any final assignment for the W26 semester due to medical, psychological or compassionate circumstances, you must submit a request for deferred assessment via email to your academic advisor from your @uoguelph.ca email address. Your request must contain:

  • A completed and signed Deferred Assessment Form (attached below).
  • A personal letter with a brief description of what was missed and a description of the circumstances that occurred. Attach your letter as a Word document, not in the body of the email.
  • Supporting documentation (*medical documentation is not required for W26; all other reasons (i.e. psychological and compassionate) do require supporting documentation).

* Complex cases may require additional supporting documentation.

If you have any questions regarding documentation or have trouble accessing the form, email your academic advisor or oac.pco@uoguelph.ca.

Please note: Effective September 1, 2024, a $200.00 administrative fee will be charged to your student account if you do not show up for your scheduled in-person deferred exam. (Note: If you are scheduled for more than one in-person deferred exam, the fee will apply for each deferred exam that you do not show up for.) If you have questions, please contact orsexams@uoguelph.ca.
