General Information

General Information

Final Examinations

Final Examinations

Grades for final examinations and final course grades are presented to and approved by the Occupational Therapy Promotions and Review Committee (OTPRC) or the Physical Therapy Promotions and Review Committee (PTPRC). No evaluation, examination mark, etc., shall be considered final until passed by the OTPRC or the PTPRC.

Following the committee meetings, final grades will be made available on Minerva.

Please refer to the Rules and Regulations document at Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy and to University Regulations & Resources > Undergraduate > Examinations: General Information > Final Examinations for important information regarding final examinations.

Please also refer to Academic Integrity, Standards of Behaviour and Code of Conduct, and Examination Facilities for Students with Disabilities.

Interim Class Tests and Mid-Term Examinations

Interim Class Tests and Mid-Term Examinations

Students will be informed of all course requirements by the end of the first week of lectures. Members of the teaching staff may give interim class tests if they consider them necessary. At the beginning of the course, students will be advised when class tests will occur and the means of evaluation. The timing of the class tests is at the discretion of the professor. However, in-term examinations will be given during the last 14 calendar days of classes—if part of a pattern of regular in-term assessments in the course—and will not be worth more than 10% of the final mark.

Mid-term examinations are generally given close to the middle of the term. Make-up examinations follow the same rules as for class tests.

Absences from mid-term exams, required lab work, or inter-professional education sessions must be approved by the Program Director. For an absence to be approved, for example, because of compassionate or medical reasons, the absence must be supported by written documentation, such as a medical certificate, and submitted to the Program Director. The Program Director at his or her discretion may request additional information before approving the absence.

Supplemental Examinations

Supplemental Examinations

Supplemental examinations may be permitted by the OTPRC or PTPRC and are examinations taken as a consequence of a failure or unsatisfactory outcome in a course. The timing of the supplemental examinations for failed Fall term and Winter term courses with the designation of OCC1, PHTH or POTH will be determined by the course instructor and may be held within 30 days of the posting of final grades, if feasible, or during the official supplemental examination periods. Supplemental examinations for Fall and Winter term campus courses are written during the official supplemental periods in March and August; for more information, see the Exams website.

It should be noted that the supplemental result will not erase the failed grade originally obtained which was used in calculating the GPA. Both the original and supplemental marks will be calculated in the GPA and cGPA. For more information, please refer to Rules and Regulations at Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy and to University Regulations & Resources > Undergraduate > Examinations: General Information > Final Examinations > Supplemental Examinations.

Deferred Examinations

Deferred Examinations

Students, who for serious reasons such as illness or family tragedy, have not written one or more examinations, may receive the permission of the Program Director to defer the examination to the next deferred examination period. Students must apply for deferred exams on Minerva. The Student Affairs Office and the Program Director must be informed by the student as soon as possible after the examination of the reason for his/her absence from the examination, and the supporting documentation must be received no later than one (1) week after the examination. Please refer to details in Rules and Regulations at Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy and to University Regulations & Resources > Undergraduate > Examinations: General Information > Final Examinations > Final Examinations: Deferred Examinations and www.mcgill.ca/exams/dates/supdefer.

No supplemental examinations are available for students who did not receive the required passing grade in a course after writing a deferred examination. Such students must, with the permission of the OTPRC or the PTPRC, either (in the case of all required program courses) re-register in the same course in the next term when the course is offered, or in an approved substitute in the case of failure of an elective/complementary course.
