Final Examinations
Final examinations for the 2016 Winter Session begin in less than two weeks. As the temperatures begin to rise with the change of seasons, so may your stress levels as you prepare for the examination period.
This month, the Engineering Student e-Newsletter highlights topics to help you navigate the coming weeks and upcoming Summer Session. We also invite you to take a moment to reflect on the many ways you can take care of yourself during this busy time and how to prepare for your exams—everything from proper nutrition to maximizing your study time.
Be sure to also take a moment to review the Faculty's exam rules and regulations, which includes information on permissable and non-permissable aids. The idea of committing an academic offence can be frightening. Learning more about the Faculty's expectations can help you feel more prepared.
Finally, remember that if you have any concerns, your Academic Advisor is your first stop for questions regarding your academics, course selection, personal matters, petitions and graduation.
We wish you every success with your exams.
