Academic Conflict
Students in the Faculties of Arts, Science, Education, Engineering, Management, and Music, as well as the School of Nursing, with an academic conflict in the Final Exam Schedule do not need to report it.
Once the Final Exam Schedule has been posted, students will be notified via their McGill email address ahead of the exam period听with details of a resolution to the conflict.
An academic conflict exists only if you have:
- Two exams on the same day, at the same time
- Three exams in one day (morning at 9 a.m., afternoon at 2 p.m., and evening at 6:30 p.m.)
- Three exams in a row in 24 hours, as follows:
- One in the afternoon at 2 p.m., one in the evening at 6:30 p.m. of the same day, and one the following morning at 9 a.m.
- One in the evening at 6:30 p.m., one the following morning at 9 a.m., and one the following afternoon at 2 p.m.
- Four exams in two days
- Five exams in three days
