deferral

special exams for a special somebody

Hey aska,

First I have to say I enjoy reading this site. It’s really helpful to me on a lotta things!

I wanna know if you defer a final in April, but that course is not offered in the summer, would you still be able to write it in August? Cuz one friend just did s with a course not available in the summer, but they let him defer it to August. So does that mean he might get individual test made by the prof or what? And why could he still take a test when there is no summer course? Does it have anything to do with the Y, F, S code? Or does it depend on whether the course is a huge class or something…Please tell me Aska! Thanks!!!!!!

Love,
Erika

Hey Erika,

I’m answering your question promply because you used the pleasant words of please and love.

It doesn’t seem to be dependent on the course size or the F, S, or Y codes.

You can either have a regular or special deferred exam. The regular exams are written in the next exam period with the class of that semester. This means that if the course is offered the next semester it might not necessarily be the same professor and you are suggested to audit the course. A special deferred exam can take place in the next exam period, or prior to it. The only real instance that I can think of a special exam being written before the next exam period, are the ones written on spring break. Special deferred exams are written by your professor.

So, when deferring an exam in April, you will be told whether your exam is a Regular or Special exam. Most of the deferred exams seem to take place in August, but a few are written in th June exam period. There are a bunch of PSY and RSM courses that are written in June.

But why defer an exam when you can DO THIS!

cheerio darling,
aska
