Exam Season #ProTips: Preparation is Key

As a reminder Fall 2020 Term F exams run from December 9 – 23, inclusive.

Remember to carefully review your complete exam schedule, being mindful of windows, start times and deadlines and plan your time accordingly.
No modifications can be made to the timing of your exam. In order to preserve academic integrity, you are required to sit your exam at the allocated time/window.
Students are required to follow all instructions given by the instructor, the Associate Dean’s Office or Registrar’s Office. Check your e-mail, Canvas courses, syllabi and academic handbook(s) for full instructions.

Here are a few final helpful reminders for exam success:

Check out Study Strategies from Learning Skills Services
Learn more about Exam Prep and Managing Exam Stress
Prepare your study environment in advance, clearing your space of any distractions.
Review your instructors’ exam instructions and submission guidelines – twice!

If your exam requires consistent internet access (e.g., a Canvas Quiz), try to limit the number of people and devices using the internet at the same time
If you have access to data on your cellular device, review how to enable a wifi hotspot for your computer.
If you experience technical issues, first alert your instructor. If you require support, contact Schulich IS&T Helpdesk. The recommended route for emergency help is the chat feature at itmedic.schulich.yorku.ca. You can also reach the Helpdesk at (416) 736-5824.
Students who are unable to submit due to technical issues with their computer, network connection or learning tools should immediately email a copy of their work to their instructor, and then complete and email a Technical Issues Form to their instructor.
