Deferring Summer Exams

Worriedgirl

I'm a TSM Junior Sophister history student. There is no information anywhere about this. Is it possible to defer summer exams until supplementals? Thanks

I'd suggest contacting your tutor. I think that, in the case of illness/some other extenuating circumstances, it may be possible for the supplemental exams to be treated as your first sitting of the exams (again, that would all go through your tutor). I can't guarantee that though and I'm especially unsure in the case of JS (because I know there are no supplemental exams in some Sophister courses like my own) or for TSM (which is a whole realm of confusion all by itself!), so definitely have a chat with your tutor and I'd say they'd be able to advise you on what would happen.

This is most of the information i think you would need, as it deals with illness and broken bones, as for special circumstances, you will need to talk to your tutor.

One of my friends couldn't do any of the exams, but they didnt allow her to skip them so she went in signed her name on the papers and left, it showed she was present for exams and she took supplementals.

I hope this helps.

It depends, for illnesses and certain circumstances (close family deaths etc.) they seem to be fairly accommodating.

Allowed me to defer SF summer exams to supplementals, then from supplementals to the following summer, and then again to the following supplementals.

If you would be elligible it's important to contact your tutor as soon as possible, he/she has to make an appeal on your behalf before a certain deadline.

Thank you all so much for the help. I'm going to sit my history exams, give them everything I've got!!! My tutor really worked his magic. What an awesome man!
