Deferred examinations are permitted in the case of illness or other exceptional circumstances.

• Music students requesting a deferred examination in academic courses for a final exam offered during the official final exam period must submit the Request for a Deferred Examination in Minerva.
• Students requesting a deferred examination in a practical music examination must contact the Performance Department directly to re-schedule the exam.

Supporting evidence such as an appropriate medical note is required. The supporting documents must be submitted to the Music Student Affairs Office no later than five business days from the date of the final exam. For all exam deferral requests except for practical music examination, an L (deferred) will appear in place of a grade if the request is approved. The grade obtained in the deferred examination will replace the grade of L (deferred) on the official transcript.

Deferred examinations in academic courses without a final exam during the official exam period are given at the discretion of the instructor. A deferred examination in a Music practical examination will be held during the next examination period.

Deferred examinations in academic courses are normally held during the March Reading Break for Fall term deferrals and in August for Winter Term deferrals. See the Exams website for more information. It is the student's responsibility to check the date, time, and place of the deferred examination.

A mark of L (deferred) not cleared by early May makes the student ineligible for in-course scholarships.

Students who are unable to write a deferred exam must contact the Music Student Affairs Office immediately to initiate a withdrawal from the deferred exam. Deferred examinations cannot be written at a later date. If the withdrawal is not approved, a final grade of J (absent) will be entered and will count as a zero in the TGPA/CGPA.

Supplemental examinations in Music academic courses may be given at the discretion of the instructor. A student who receives a mark below 30% in a course is not permitted to take a supplemental examination but must repeat the course. Students are subject to a supplemental exam fee if the request is approved. See the Exams website mcgill.ca/exams/dates/supdefer for more information.

Students may request reassessments of term work or rereads of final exams. In either case, students should first consult the instructor for clarification on an assessment and to request a possible grade adjustment if deemed eligible. If a satisfactory conclusion cannot be reached, students may contact the Student Affairs Office (studentaffairs.music [at] mcgill.ca) in writing to apply for a reassessment. A formal re-evaluation will be conducted by a qualified and impartial evaluator. A fee may be charged for a reread or reassessment.

Students are subject to the following rules when applying for a reassessment or reread:

• Grades may either be raised or lowered as a result of a reread/reassessment; the final course grade following a reread/reassessment takes precedence, whether it is higher or lower.
• If the resulting grade remains the same or is lowered, a fee will be charged; consult the Student Accounts website for fee details.
• If the reread/reassessment leads to a higher grade, no fee will be charged.

Students must submit a reread/reassessment request by the following deadlines:

• March 31 of the subsequent year for fall courses
• July 31 of the same year for winter courses
• November 30 of the same year for summer courses
