Preparing for Exams
At the University of Alberta, our students and instructors share the goal of completing a successful exam. Working together, all members of our university community can feel comfortable and confident going into the final exam season.
While we are mostly online, any student who experiences a challenge - whether it’s technical or brought on by the pandemic - should contact their instructor as soon as possible. They’re here to help. Students can also always reach out to their faculty office as well as the Office of the Dean of Students if they need any help navigating the available supports and services.
The Centre for Teaching and Learning, as well as the IST eClass team, are here to help our instructors with all their online assessment needs too.
